CK Akonnor's side got their journey to Qatar off to a good start with three points at home
A solitary strike from Mubarak Wakaso handed Ghana a 1-0 home victory over Ethiopia in Group G of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers at Cape Coast Stadium on Friday.
The win sends the Black Stars to the top of the table ahead of Monday’s matchday two showdown away against South Africa, who played out a 0-0 draw in the other group game.
Ghana coach CK Akonnor put faith in China-based Wakaso and Real Mallorca man Mohammed Iddrisu Baba to marshal the midfield in the absence of the first-choice pair of Arsenal’s Thomas Partey and Ajax’s Mohammed Kudus.
