2026 WC Qualifier: Partey's Double Strike Powers Ghana to 3-0 Win Over Madagascar
Al Hoceima, Morocco - 24 March 2025 - Ghana has taken a giant leap towards securing a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with a convincing 3-0 win over Madagascar in a Group I qualifier played in Morocco.
The Black Stars' impressive performance has catapulted them to a five-point lead atop the group standings
The Black Stars' dominance was underscored by Thomas Partey's impressive brace and Mohammed Kudus's decisive goal, propelling Ghana to their second consecutive win following a 5-0 thrashing of Chad.
Ghana's convincing performance has yielded a substantial 15 points from six matches, solidifying their grip on the top spot in Group I.
Madagascar, currently in second place with 10 points, faces the threat of being overtaken by Comoros, pending the outcome of Comoros' match against Chad on Tuesday, March 25.
Ghana's resurgence is all the more remarkable given the pressure they faced after failing to qualify for the 2025 AFCON. The team's response has been emphatic, with an impressive tally of eight goals scored and none conceded in their last two qualifiers.
