Ghana Dominates Chad in World Cup Qualifier: A 5-0 Victory
Ghana's Black Stars delivered a resounding 5-0 victory over Chad in their 2026 World Cup qualifier on March 21, 2025, at the Accra Sports Stadium. The win, predicted accurately by Ghanaian sports journalist Ibrahim Sannie Daara, catapulted Ghana to the top of Group I.
Daara's Accurate Prediction and Fan Reactions
Sannie Daara's pre-match prediction of a 5-0 win, shared on X (formerly Twitter), initially drew skepticism from some fans who pointed to Ghana's recent failure to qualify for AFCON 2025. However, his prediction proved remarkably accurate, leaving many in awe and others requesting further prophetic insights for upcoming matches.
A Dominant Display by the Black Stars
The Black Stars controlled the game from start to finish. Goals from Antoine Semenyo, Inaki Williams, Jordan Ayew (penalty), Mohammed Salisu, and Ernest Nuamah sealed a comprehensive victory. The performance showcased Ghana’s attacking prowess and defensive solidity, a stark contrast to their recent struggles.
Controversy Surrounding the Captain's Armband
A minor controversy arose when Jordan Ayew, after being substituted, attempted to pass the captain's armband to Thomas Partey, who initially refused, leading to a brief exchange with Alexander Djiku before Partey finally accepted it. Coach Otto Addo downplayed the incident in his post-match press conference.
Asare's Impressive Debut and Addo's Tactical Decisions
Otto Addo's decision to start home-based goalkeeper Benjamin Asare also drew attention. Asare, playing for Hearts of Oak, delivered a solid performance on his international debut, justifying Addo's faith in his training-ground form over established goalkeepers.
Looking Ahead to Madagascar
Ghana now faces Madagascar on March 24th, 2025, aiming to maintain their momentum and solidify their position at the top of Group I. This 5-0 victory provides a significant boost to their World Cup qualification hopes, reigniting optimism amongst fans and officials alike.
