Ghana are closing in on their first victory in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, leading Somalia 2-0 after 75 minutes at the Essipong Sports Stadium.

Defender Jonas Adjetey broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time before Felix Afena-Gyan doubled the Black Stars' advantage just after the hour mark.

The goals have put interim coach Kim Lars Björkegren's side in a strong position to collect their first three points in Group C.

Ghana entered the encounter under pressure after losing their opening two qualifiers against Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia.

The Black Stars now have 15 minutes plus stoppage time to protect their lead and secure a much-needed win.

Ghana will be targeting all three points at Essipong before the two teams meet again on Monday, November 16, 2026.
