Ghana secured a crucial 1-0 victory against Mali in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, thanks to a lone goal by Spartak Moscow defender Alexander Djiku. This win boosts Ghana’s lead at the top of Group I to 19 points, putting them in a strong position to qualify for the World Cup in Mexico, the US, and Canada.

Despite pressure on coach Otto Addo after a recent draw, the Black Stars showed resilience and solid defense to hold off Mali’s attacks. With upcoming matches against Central African Republic and Comoros, Ghana aims to maintain momentum and secure their spot in the tournament.
