Ghana beat Somalia 2–0 to get AFCON qualifying campaign moving

Ghana earned their first victory in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers with a 2–0 win over Somalia at the Sekondi Sports Stadium on Thursday, November 12.

Jonas Adjetey broke the deadlock shortly before half-time, giving the Black Stars an advantage after a first half in which the visitors had kept the score level until stoppage time.

Felix Afena-Gyan added the second after the interval. Match records credit Mohammed Kudus with the assist, giving Ghana a more comfortable margin for the closing stages.

The result supplied both three points and a clean sheet as Ghana sought to recover momentum in their qualifying campaign. It also gave Adjetey his first international goal, according to the Ghana Football Association.

Ghana’s immediate task is to turn the breakthrough into a run of results. One victory improves their position, but the remaining group matches will determine whether the recovery carries them to the finals.
