Jordan Ayew comes off the bench to score a late winner as Ghana beat Mali 1-2 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers

Jordan Ayew came off the bench to score a late winner as Ghana beat Mali 1-2 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers at the Stade du 26 Mars in Bamako on Thursday evening.

Jordan Ayew was the hero of the evening for the Black Stars, as his goal in referee’s additional time saw Ghana produce an impressive come back to haul maximum points away from home against Mali in Bamako.

Kamory Doumbia’s 58th minute strike looked to have given Mali the win but an Ernest Nuamah’s leveller, as well as Ayew’s late winner saw the Black Stars secure a vital win on the road.
