El Jadida, Morocco — Jordan Ayew is making headlines once again in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, delivering a performance of rare excellence as Ghana assert dominance in Group I. In a resounding 5-0 victory over Central African Republic, Ayew scored and provided two assists — pushing his tally to seven goals and seven assists in just nine qualification matches.
That kind of output has earned him comparisons with global superstars. Some analysts now place him in the same elite bracket as Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland, citing his involvement in goals at a rate that rivals theirs. His steady hand, vision, and finishing have become integral as Ghana edge closer to the World Cup.
In the win over CAR, Ayew orchestrated the attack. He played a key role in the build-up to Thomas Partey’s goal, delivered a corner that led to Alexander Djiku’s header, and then struck home his own finish in the 71st minute. Ghana now lead the group on goal difference and need just a point from their final match to secure qualification — a prospect made far more comfortable by Ayew’s prolific form.
For Ayew, this run of form reinforces his status as not just a dependable national team player, but as a leader and talisman. His contributions have lifted Ghana’s offensive potency, and they now stand on the brink of returning to the World Cup stage.
