The Black Stars of Ghana with local star, Ben Asare of Accra Hearts of Oak in the goal post put up a great show to beat Morocco three nil at the Al Hoceima Grand Stadium in Morocco on Monday evening.
Ghana now tops the Group after goals from Thomas Partey who had a brace and Mohammed Kudus banged in the goals. Goal keeper Asare is now known as Mr. Clean Sheet.
But the main architect of the goals was captain Jordan Ayew who marshalled his players to ensure victory.
Others who featured were Jerome Opoku, Salisu Mohammed, Gideon Mensah.Alex Djiku and Kingsley Schindler, Antoine Semenyo. Abu Francis and Inaki Williams who came on as a sub. Razak Simpson also tasted the game.
By this victory Ghana now has 15 points and closer to qualifying to the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be hosted in USA, Mexico and Canada.
Many Ghanaians who were afraid of Ben Asare manning the posts are now relieved after he kept another clean sheet and can safely take Ghana to the sundial.
Coach Otto Addo and his technical staff have been congratulated for the good shows against Chad and Madagascar which has yielded eight goals for and no against.
Some credit must go to Technical Director Wilfred Schaefer and two former captains Stephen Tornado Appiah and Asamoah Baby Jet Gyan who psyched the players before the game.
The GFA led by Kurt Okraku should also be commended for the new vim and direction.
The executives of the Ghana Supporters Union must also be hailed for their wonderful support that gingered the players to play their hearts out.
