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.
EL JADIDA, Morocco (AP) — Ethiopia and Sierra Leone played to a 0-0 draw on Wednesday in a World Cup qualifying game that was delayed several times because of dense fog.
The halftime break lasted about one hour as the fog lingered, and the referee stopped play twice in the second half before the match ended after 15 minutes of stoppage time.
The game was played at El Abdi Stadium in the port city of El Jadida on the Atlantic coast of Morocco.
