AFCON 2027Q Review: Ghana 2-0 Somalia
Ghana’s Black Stars beat Somalia by two unanswered goals at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Sekondi-Takoradi in a 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Group C qualifier.
The four-time AFCON Champions have lost their opening games against Ivory Coast (0-2) and The Gambia (2-4).
Interim coach Kim Lars Björkegren was given the nod after Carlos Queiroz was sacked. Ibrahim Tanko and Godwin Attram were added to the technical team of the national setup.
The team had an opportunity after Seidu was fouled in the box. Captain Jordan Ayew’s penalty was saved by Somalia goalkeeper Hussein Ibrahim Ahmed in the 14th minute.
With the game looking as if it was ending in a goalless draw, Mohammed Kudus delivered a corner; Mohammed Salisu flicked it on; defender Jonas Adjetey headed home for 1-0.
Felix Afena-Gyan timed his run precisely from a Mohammed Kudus assist for the second goal in the 62nd minute.
Ghana dominated 77% possession in the game scoring two goals.
Today’s win over Somalia is Ghana’s first competitive win on home soil since October 2025.
