In the ongoing 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the Black Stars of Ghana faced a disappointing loss against Comoros in their second match. The solitary goal of the game was scored in the 43rd minute when M. Maolida skillfully maneuvered past Nicholas Opoku, sending the ball into the net beyond the reach of goalkeeper Richard Ofori.
Despite several promising opportunities in the early stages of the match, the Black Stars failed to convert chances into goals. As they entered the second half, Ghana aimed for a comeback, displaying heightened energy and determination. However, Comoros’ robust defense proved formidable, preventing the Black Stars from finding the net.
Efforts to turn the tide through numerous changes in tactics and lineup by Ghana ultimately yielded no positive outcome.
Comoros’ victory propels them to the top of the table in the qualifiers, closely followed by Mali. This win marks the second time that Comoros has secured a victory over Ghana, the first being during the 2021 Afcon group stage match, which they won 3-2. This recent defeat adds to the historical record of Comoros’ success against Ghana in football encounters.
