Ghana coach Otto Addo has hailed his team’s comeback win in the second half against the Central African Republic, stating that the performance should be the new ‘standard’ for the Black Stars.

Trailing 2-1 at halftime, Ghana turned the game around with three second-half goals.

Jordan Ayew scored twice, adding to his first-half penalty to complete his hat-trick, while Fatawu Issahaku also found the back of the net to help the Stars secure a 4-3 victory.

“We had problems in the first half, finding solutions upfront. But I will take it on my because the way we played was too complicated given we had only a few days to train,” Addo said in post-match interview.

“We changed our shape and our wingers, and so in the second half, we had more crossed and goal attempts, but also, defensively, we were more comfortable.

“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.”

Ghana now top Group I with nine points, while Comoros and Madagascar are set to play their matches later on Tuesday.

Addo’s men will next face Chad and Madagascar in March 2025 in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
