It was supposed to be a walk in the park for Ghana, or at least that was what many expected, and the Black Stars appeared comfortable controlling the game against Chad until a late equaliser spoiled their party.
They lacked intensity, looked scrappy and eventually clueless in the middle of the picture, even after skipper Jordan Ayew gave Otto Addo’s men an early lead.
That was almost enough to secure all three points away in N’Djamena until Celestine Ecua’s 89th-minute strike spoiled their party.
The 23-year-old was unmarked as he glided his way through numerous white shirts before firing a powerful shot which deflected past goalkeeper Benjamin Asare to level the scores.
Many believe a lack of concentration in midfield and poor marking cost Ghana maximum points in their bid to extend their lead in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
