Ghana almost secured three points

Since the beginning of the match, Ghana looks very confident. They managed to excel first in the 17th minute through Jordan Ayew. Starting from the low bait Mohammed Kudus, Ayew who stood freely in the penalty box easily struck the ball into the goal and brought Ghana to lead 1-0.

With this advantage, Ghana appeared to be on the track to widen the distance at the top of Group I. In fact, the opportunity for the sake of the opportunity to come, including when Antoine Semenyo fired a shot off right before halftime and Kudus who again failed to take advantage of opportunities in the second half.

However, all the golden opportunities were wasted.

Chad wakes up at the end of the game

Although throughout the game rarely spread threats, Chad actually appeared brave in the final minutes. Franky Tchaouna had forced Ghana goalkeeper, Benjamin Asare, rescuing seven minutes before normal time ended after utilizing Gideon’s mistakes.

The climax, Celestine Ecua became a hero. He ran from the midfield, fired hard to the left foot from outside the penalty box that hit the Ghana player and made the ball turn, unable to stop Asare. N’Djamena Stadium broke out by the cheers of the host supporters.

The goal not only saved Chad from defeat, but also gave them the first point after seven matches in Group I.

Ghana’s position in Group I began to be depressed

This draw is clearly detrimental to Ghana. The Black Stars still lead the Group I standings with a four -point advantage, but the opportunity to stay away is thinner. Moreover, Comoros and Mali – the two closest competitors – now get moral encouragement after seeing Ghana lost two valuable points.

This situation made Ghana’s home game against Mali on Tuesday very crucial. If it fails to win, Ghana’s position at the top of the group can be more threatened.

Keep in mind, only group champions automatically qualify for the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
