Comoros have closed the gap with Ghana in Group I of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying series after a lone-goal victory over Chad.
Rafiki Saïd’s strike in the 24th minute ensured that the islanders scooped all three points at the Stade Municipal de Berkane in Morocco on Tuesday.
The campaign of Les Coelecantes took a jolt after a humiliating 0-3 home loss to Mali last Thursday.

The Black Stars, however, took a commanding lead of the group with a 5-0 thumping of Chad.
The 2010 quarter-finalists extended their lead to five points after beating Madagascar 3-0 at the Stade Mimoun Al Arsi in Al Hoceim in Morocco on Monday.

However, Comoros’ laboured win on Matchday 6 saw them reduce the point gap with the group leaders.
They will travel to Bamako to face Mali in their next encounter while the Black Stars play Chad next, in September.
The two sides are set for a final showdown in the qualifiers as the Ghanaians host the Comorans in Accra or Kumasi in October.
The first leg ended 1-0 in favour of Les Coelecantes, who embarrassed the Black Stars in their maiden meeting at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
