Ghana football legend Asamoah Gyan has praised the Black Stars for their commanding 5-0 victory over the Central African Republic in Wednesday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying fixture.
The emphatic win, secured in Matchday 9 of the qualifiers, featured goals from Mohammed Salisu, Thomas Partey, Alexander Djiku, Jordan Ayew, and Kamaldeen Sulemana, putting Ghana firmly on course for next year’s World Cup.
Speaking after the match, Gyan expressed admiration for the team’s clinical performance, particularly in the second half following tactical adjustments by the coaching staff.
“I haven’t seen this in a long time. First, I want to thank Ghanaians for their massive support. In the first half, we struggled a bit physically and had to make adjustments, and you saw how offensive and sharp we were in the second half. They’ve shown they can score goals, we scored three against Madagascar and now five today,” Asamoah Gyan told 3Sports.
The victory keeps Ghana atop Group I with 22 points, placing them on the brink of securing a spot at the 2026 World Cup.
Despite the dominant display, Gyan urged fans to hold off on celebrations and turn out in force for Sunday’s final qualifier against Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium.
“But it’s not time to celebrate yet. We must finish the job in Accra, and I’m calling on all fans to come in their numbers to support the team,” Gyan added.
