Ghana End Eight-Match AFCON Qualifying Winless Run With 2-0 Win Over Somalia

Ghana revived their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign with a 2-0 victory over Somalia at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Sekondi-Takoradi. The win was interim coach Kim Lars Björkegren’s first in charge and ended Ghana’s eight-match winless run in AFCON qualifying. Jordan Ayew missed a penalty in the 14th minute, but Jonas Adjetey put Ghana ahead with a header in first-half stoppage time. Felix Afena-Gyan added the second goal in the 62nd minute. Ayew returned to the side, while Mohammed Kudus made his first appearance in 2026. Ghana moved off the bottom of Group C with three points from three matches. Somalia remain without a point. The teams meet again on Monday, November 16, at Essipong Stadium, as Somalia do not have a CAF-approved home venue. The top two teams in the group qualify for the 2027 tournament, which Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda will co-host.
