Myziane Maolida's first half strike was enough for Comoros to maintain their perfect start in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers after narrowly beating Ghana by 1-0 at the Stade de Moroni on Tuesday evening.
Coach Chris Hughton made three changes from the team that started against Madagascar over the weekend.
Skipper Andre Ayew returned into the line up to replace doubtful Kudus Mohammed so as Denis Odoi for Alidu Seidu and Kassim Nuhu for Daniel Amartey.
The Greens game plan coming into the game was to watch their opponents play and will rely on their pacey wingers anytime they are on attack.
Ghana on the other hand, were just focusing on swinging passes among themselves with no any dangerous attempts on goal.
Eventually, Comoros snatched the lead with just three minutes to full time through Myziane Maolida- who picked the ball from 25 meters away, went past two men before plotting into the net beautifully to mark his second in the campaign.
In the second half, the Black Stars returned on a very good note and attacked from onset in search of the leveller.
On the 54th minute, a glorious opportunity fell on the path of Inaki Williams who just had to head from a close range to level the score but his effort went wide.
Comoros captain nearly took goalkeeper Richard Ofori by surprise with a long range effort from his free kick but missed the target by inches. That was close.
Few minutes on, Jordan Ayew also made a good run and set up Inaki with a dink but spent so much time on the ball as his final cross was blocked to a wasted corner kick.
The Black Stars made lots of incursions on goal but couldn't break the backline of Comoros not to talk of even getting the ball at the back of the net.
It finished 1-0 for Comoros after full time who are now the only team in Group I with two wins.
