2022 FIFA WCQ: Ghana remain in second place on Group G table despite Zimbabwe win

Ghana remains second on the Group G standings of the African qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament.

The Black Stars finished the September international break in the same position after winning against Ethiopia at home and losing to South Africa away.

In this October International break, Ghana is scheduled to play Zimbabwe in a doubleheader encounter of the qualifiers.

Today at the Cape Coast Stadium, the Black Stars hosted the Warriors in the first of the two encounters.

Knowing that group leaders South Africa had already won their match against Ethiopia, Ghana fought hard to secure the needed three points.

On the matchday, Mohammed Kudus scored in the opening five minutes to give Ghana a deserved lead.

Although Knowledge Musona would equalize from the spot to draw level for Zimbabwe, a Thomas Partey equalizer in the 67^th minute powered Ghana to secure a vital 2-1 win at the end of the 90 minutes.

Despite picking the crucial three points, Ghana is unable to climb to the top of the Group G table due to the South Africa win earlier today.

The Black Stars stay in second but only trail the Bafana Bafana by one point.
