Ghana coach Otto Addo has warned that the Black Stars‘ next game against Madagascar will be tougher than their 5-0 victory over Chad.
The Black Stars will face Madagascar in their sixth-round 2026 World Cup qualifier on Monday, March 24, in Morocco.
Addo believes the team must quickly shift focus to that game, as it will pose a greater challenge.
“First of all, I am happy that we won, also that we scored a lot of goals,” Addo said after the Chad match. But to be honest, we have to concentrate on Monday. It will be a different game. It will be much, much difficult, and we are already thinking ahead of that game.”
The Black Stars dominated against Chad, taking an early lead through Antoine Semenyo in just the second minute.
Inaki Williams, Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Salisu, and Ernest Nuamah also got on the scoresheet as Ghana delivered a strong attacking performance.
The victory put Ghana at the top of Group I with 12 points, two ahead of Madagascar.
With a crucial clash against Madagascar ahead, Addo and his team will aim to maintain their momentum and strengthen their position in the race for a spot at the 2026 World Cup.
