HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Iñaki Williams gave Ghana a winning start to World Cup qualifying by scoring deep into injury time Friday to secure a 1-0 victory over Madagascar.

Ghana has qualified for four of the last five World Cups, only missing out in Russia in 2018, and reached the quarterfinals in South Africa in 2010.

The Black Stars were a big favorite at home against Madagascar but manager Chris Hughton's team struggled to breach the visitors' organized defense in Kumasi.
