African World Cup qualifying: Ghana seal spot in USA alongside Egypt
"Ghana secured their World Cup 2026 qualification with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Comoros in Kumasi, thanks to a moment of brilliance from Mohammed Kudus early in the second half. After a cagey opening 45 minutes in which neither side managed to find a breakthrough, the hosts came out with renewed purpose after the restart. Just three minutes into the second half, Thomas Partey slipped a clever pass into Kudus, who took a touch before rifling a right-footed strike into the top of the net."
"Egypt edged past Guinea-Bissau with a 1-0 win in Cairo, with Mohamed Hamdy's early header proving decisive in a tightly contested qualifier. The Pharaohs made a strong start and took the lead after just 11 minutes when Ahmed Koka delivered a pinpoint cross into the box, met by Hamdy, who directed a firm header into the net. That proved to be the game's only strike, as Egypt failed to turn early dominance into a more comfortable scoreline."
Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia have already secured places for next summer's World Cup. Mohamed Salah's Egypt had previously qualified and recorded a 1-0 win over Guinea-Bissau through Mohamed Hamdy's early header. Ghana clinched World Cup 2026 qualification with a 1-0 victory over Comoros in Kumasi after Mohammed Kudus rifled a right-footed strike following Thomas Partey's pass. Comoros defended bravely but rarely troubled Ghana late on. The Egypt match remained tight with bookings in the second half and defensive substitutions to protect the lead. Other qualifying results included Burkina Faso 1-0 Ethiopia, Djibouti 1-2 Sierra Leone, Zambia 0-1 Niger and Chad 2.
