Al Ahly 3-0 Medeama: Ghanaian champions concede three late goals in Cairo

The Yellow and Mauves could not contain their North African opponents despite holding them for over an hour

Ghana champions Medeama lost 3-0 to Al Ahly in the Group D opening game of the Caf Champions League in Cairo, Egypt on Saturday.

The Yellow and Mauve were resolute in the first half of the game as they held the Ahly from creating chances and scoring goals.

However, after the break Ahly finally found a breach in Medeama’s defence and opened the scoring. Mahmoud Kahraba pounced on a defensive lapse and sent his effort beyond the reach of goalkeeper Felix Kyei by the 66th minute.

Shahat added another after a defensive blunder on 75th minute before Salah Moshen sealed the victory with a header by the 88th minute.

Medeama will now turn attention to their next game at home against CR Belouzdad at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Friday.

“Black Stars were better than Comoros,” Chris Hughton blames missed chances for defeat

The Black Stars boss believes his charges failed to utilize glaring opportunities that is why they ended up losing

Ghana Chris Hughton was adamant to claims that he failed to impress with his tactics following the 1-0 defeat Comoros in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in Moroni on Tuesday.

A goal in the first half by Comoros meant that the Black Stars are now sitting fourth on the Group I log with three points, as Comoros got top with six.

“Congratulations to Comoros for the victory. In my opinion,over the 90 minutes, we were the better team,” Hughton said after the game.

“I think Ghana were the better team. We conceded what we regard as a poor goal and we were not able to capitalise on the chances that we had.

“So this was not a game where Comoros won comfortably. Over the 90 minutes, we were the better team but unfortunately, we were not able to put away the chances that we created,” he added.

Ghana will now switch their attention to the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations to be staged in Cote d’Ivoire next year January.

Highlights: Comoros 1-0 Ghana: Watch how Semenyo, Ayew & others squandered chances in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers

The Black Stars failed to convert all the chances that came their way to go top of Group I after suffering a narrow defeat to Comoros

Ahead of the game, Chris Hughton made three changes in the squad that defeated Madagascar 1-0 in the opening game at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium last Friday.

The Black Stars appeared to be the better side despite struggling on a poor pitch in Comoros as they they had numerous chances to win the game.

West Ham United star midfielder Kudus Mohammed could not pass a late fitness test and as a result Andre Ayew took his place.

Also, defenders Daniel Amartey and Alidu Seidu were dropped for Kassim Nuhu and Denis Odoi respectively.

The first chance of the game came to Semenyo after he was played through by Inaki Williams but the Bournemouth forward surprisingly fluffed the chance narrowly wide by the sixth minute.

Jordan Ayew came close to opening the scoring in the 21st minute when he rose above his marker to head a cross from Inaki wide before he sent another free kick into the skies.

Few minutes later, Inaki Williams saw his shot blocked before another chance from Antoine Semenyo was blocked.

Comoros scored the opener on 43rd minute through M. Maolida to send the home fans into wild jubilation.

After the break, Ghana made several changes with Kudus, Nuamah and others coming on board but the hosts were resilient at the back and held on to record a memorable victory.

With Mali sharing the spoils 1-1 with Central African Republic at home while Madagascar brushed aside Chad yesterday, the win for Comoros have seen them going top of the log with six points from two games.

Ghana are now third on log with three points while Mali sit second with four points.

The Black Stars will face Comoros in an all-important fixture as the winner would go top of Group I

Ghana will play Comoros in the second game of Group I of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday.

The Black Stars after the narrow victory over Madagascar in Kumasi last week, would be hoping to make amends and impress Ghanaians with good and impressive football.

A late goal deep in additional time from Athletic Bilbao striker Inaki Williams was all that the Black Stars needed to secure a win.

However, with Comoros also winning on opening day away over Chad, the hosts will now hope to make it two wins in two games and leapfrog Mali to the top of the table.

Mali surprisingly shared the spoils 1-1 at home against Central African Republic while Madagascar recovered from the defeat against Ghana to brush aside Chad 3-0.

With pressure mounting on Ghana coach Chris Hughton, he is expected to ring changes in the squad that defeated Madagascar.

Midfielder Majeed Ashimeru is expected to start ahead of Abdul Salis Samed while captain Andre Ayew will likely come on to help with his experience in the second half.

Gold Stars ask head coach Michael Osei to go on leave after poor results

The Miners have asked their head coach to proceed on leave after failing to pick a win in seven games

Bibiani Gold Stars have announced their decision to allow head coach Michael Osei to proceed on a short term leave following the club’s recent poor performance in Ghana Premier League.

The Western North club has failed to win any of their last seven games, picking only five points out of a possible 21 points.

The poor run of results have seen them in the relegation zone after eleven games this season.

As a result, Osei will be away from the technical bench when they make a short trip from Bibiani to Bechem to face in-form Bechem United at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park on Sunday.

Gold Stars sit 17th on the log with 11 points, one point below safety.
