Ghana beats Somalia to revive 2027 Afcon qualifying campaign

Ghana secured a 2-0 home victory against Somalia in Sekondi-Takoradi to ignite their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign. The win comes after the team lost their opening two Group C matches against Ivory Coast and The Gambia, which resulted in the departure of coach Carlos Queiroz by mutual consent and interim coach Kim Bjorkegren taking charge. Despite Jordan Ayew having an early penalty saved by Somali goalkeeper Ibrahim Hussein, Ghana claimed the victory thanks to goals from Jonas Adjetey and Felix Afena-Gyan. The result puts the four-time continental champions three points behind Ivory Coast and The Gambia in the group standings.
