His composed finish sent the Accra Sports Stadium into raptures and ensured the Black Stars booked their ticket to North America.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the slender scoreline, Otto Addo\u2019s side dominated much of the contest, creating several chances through Kudus and Ayew, while Comoros relied on counter-attacks to stay in the game. Ghana\u2019s defence, marshalled by Mohammed Salisu and Alidu Seidu, held firm to keep a clean sheet.<\/p>\n<p>The result sees Ghana finish top of Group I with 25 points, ahead of Mali and Madagascar, confirming their qualification for a fifth World Cup finals.<\/p>\n<p>It marks redemption for the Black Stars, who had lost to Comoros earlier in the campaign. Kudus, now Ghana\u2019s leading scorer in the qualifiers, continues to underline his status as the team\u2019s talisman.<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Otto Addo hailed his team\u2019s resilience after the match:<\/p>\n<p>&gt; \u201cIt wasn\u2019t easy, but we stayed focused. Qualifying means everything to the players and the people of Ghana,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Comoros, who had impressed with a strong campaign, finish fourth in the group but can take pride in having pushed one of Africa\u2019s giants all the way.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana now joins Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Egypt among Africa\u2019s confirmed representatives at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92025 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
