Mohammed Kudus supplied an assist in Ghana’s 5-0 victory over Central African Republic on Wednesday, which put them on the brink of qualification for next summer’s World Cup finals.
Fresh from scoring his first goal in our colours during Saturday’s win at Leeds United, the attacker wasted no time in making an impact on the international stage as well.
He sent in a 21st-minute corner from which Mohammed Salisu powerfully headed Ghana in front – and from there it was one-way traffic in Meknes, Morocco, as his side went on to win comfortably thanks to further goals from Thomas Partey, Alexander Djiku, Jordan Ayew and Kamaldeen Sulemana.
Mo completed 82 minutes before being substituted.
The result means Ghana now only need a point from their final qualifying game at home to Comoros on Sunday to be mathematically certain of qualifying for the showpiece tournament in 2026.
They’re currently three points ahead of second-placed Madagascar in Group I with a superior goal difference (+8).
