Ghana boosted their hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup with a thumping victory over Madagascar in Group I of the qualifiers.
Thomas Partey demonstrated his clinical attribute with captain Jordan Ayew displaying his visionary skill which helped the Black Stars ease past their opponent to open a five-point gap at the summit of the table (15pts).
Other players also put up a strong showing which aided the emphatic victory. Here is a JoySports rating on the team's output.
Benjamin Asare - 6The Hearts of Oak goalkeeper had a fairly quiet game, especially in the first half. However, he was very alert and made a stunning save when called upon to action, ultimately keeping a clean sheet.
Kingsley Schindler - 6Very solid at the back, and marauded high up the pitch when needed. He really limited Madagascar's influence on the right flank.
Gideon Mensah - 5.5The left-back was not as dominant as he was in the previous match against Chad, but remained disciplined and kept the job done at the back.
Alexander Djiku - 6The centre-back put up a colossal performance in defense, showcasing his leadership quality.
Mohammed Salisu - 5.5The Monaco man formed a strong partnership with Djiku to help Ghana keep a clean sheet. Nearly scored in the opening exchanges.
Jerome Opoku - 6He was very calm with the ball and put his body on the line when needed.
Abu Francis - 7The defensive midfielder was all over the pitch, chasing every blade of grass, and offered much protection to the back three.
Thomas Partey - 8One of the best performers on the pitch for Ghana. He was neat and tidy in possession and also came up with the goods, scoring twice from two headers.
Mohammed Kudus - 6Displayed his usual ball-holding skill and ultimately found the back of the net to put the icing on the cake.
Jordan Ayew - 9The captain's performance was exemplary. He was the creative force, setting up all three goals, and demonstrated good work ethic.
Antoine Semenyo - 5Wasn't too imposing as expected. Not surprisingly, he was the first to be substituted.
Subs:Inaki Williams - 5Offered variety
Ernest Nuamah - 6Offered variety
Ebenezer Annan - N/ASimpson Razak - N/AJonas Adjetey - N/A
Manager - 7Otto Addo deployed a 3-5-2 system, which provided a solid defensive play with a good attacking outlet. Substitutions were timely.
