Black Stars coach, Otto Addo has lauded his team’s impressive comeback win against Central African Republic in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
Ghana clashed with the Wild Beasts at the Baba Yara Stadium on Monday in the matchday four games.
Despite going ahead through Jordan Ayew from a spot-kick, Louis Mafouta scored a brace to end the first half 2-1.
However, Otto Addo’s men came back into the second half to record a 4-3 win with Jordan Ayew scoring a brace to complete his hat trick with Abdul Fatawu Issahaku also finding the back of the net.
Speaking after the game, Addo credited his team’s mental resilience and positive attitude for the comeback victory.
“The positive spirit. Despite being behind, away in Mali and now here again to come back from difficult situations that need to be mentioned. The mentality of the players to believe how I told them to play and to deliver. They are coming from all over Europe – with different coaching principles – but they were able to adapt and perform.”
He also emphasized the need for the team’s recent performances to become the standard for the national team going forward.
“This should be our standard – that second-half performance. But if we keep at it, the probability is that we can win a lot of matches and prolong this spell” he added.
The Black Stars have now moved to the top of Group I in the CAF World Cup qualifiers with nine points, three ahead of both Comoros and Madagascar.
