The Ghanaian national football team, known as the Black Stars, experienced a surprising loss to Comoros during the second match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday, November 21.
The Coelacanths won their home game and now lead Group I after previously defeating Central African Republic.
Antoine Semenyo missed a chance to score for Ghana within the first six minutes of the game. His shot went into the side net.
Jordan Ayew nearly scored for Ghana, with his header from six yards out narrowly missing the Comoros goal.
Myziane Maolida scored after dribbling past Richard Ofori in the penalty box.
The goal came in the 43rd minute, which gave the home team an advantage before halftime.
After the recess, Chris Hughton introduced Mohammed Kudus who replaced Andre Ayew in the starting lineup.
Back-to-back chances for Semenyo and Inaki Williams in the early stages of the second still couldn’t find the back of the net.
Substitute Majeed Ashimeru tried his luck from a long way out to catch the goalkeeper by surprise but failed to get his attempt on target.
Inaki was handed a late chance at goal from an Abdul Fatawu Issahaku cross but his header failed to trouble the goalkeeper.
Despite their late fight to get the equaliser, Chris Hughton’s men were never going to draw level with the game going on to end in defeat for them.
The win sees Comoros go top of Group I after two wins in two games while Ghana stay on three points.
