Black Stars Edge Mali to Go Top of Group I in World Cup Qualifiers

The Black Stars of Ghana secured a crucial 1–0 victory over Mali in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying clash at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday night.

Defender Alexander Djiku was the hero of the evening, rising highest to head home from a Jordan Ayew corner in the 52nd minute. The goal proved decisive in a tense encounter that saw both sides battle fiercely for control.

Mali, who came into the match needing maximum points to revive their qualification hopes, tested Ghana’s defense on several occasions. Goalkeeper Benjamin Asare stood firm, producing vital saves to keep the visitors at bay.

Head coach Otto Addo’s tactical switch to a back-three gave the Black Stars defensive solidity while allowing the full-backs to press higher up the pitch. The midfield duo of Thomas Partey and debutant Kwasi Sibo provided balance and composure, while youngster Caleb Yirenkyi impressed with his attacking runs from the right.

The hard-fought win takes Ghana to 19 points at the top of Group I, strengthening their chances of qualifying directly for the World Cup. For Mali, the defeat leaves their campaign hanging by a thread, with limited time left to recover.

The Black Stars will now turn their attention to the final two qualifiers, knowing that one more victory could seal their place at the FIFA world cup.
