Ghana, Somalia, Ivory Coast and Felix Afena-Gyan
12 November 2026
Ghana earned their first victory in 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying by beating Somalia 2-0, after losing their opening two group games. Ivory Coast maintained their perfect Group C record with a 2-1 victory over The Gambia.
Jonas Adjetey headed Ghana ahead just before halftime, and Felix Afena-Gyan added a second after the interval. Jordan Ayew had earlier missed a penalty. Interim coach Kim Bjorkegren oversaw the win, although Ghana remain six points behind Ivory Coast.
Why It Matters
Ghana revived their qualification campaign but still face a substantial gap to Group C leaders Ivory Coast.
