Ghana beat Comoros 1-0 in the final Group I match of the African regional qualifying round for the North-China World Cup against Comoros at the Accra Stadium on the 13th (Korea time). With the victory, Ghana secured the top spot in the group with 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and 25 points, making it to the North-China World Cup finals.
Comoros is the only team that lost to Ghana in this qualifying round. He is ranked 105th in the FIFA rankings, but he had five wins, including the match against Ghana, in this qualifying round. If they win that day, Ghana was not a pushover, as they were able to leap to second place in the group that could compete for the intercontinental playoff-decision tournament. However, in the second minute of the second half, Mohamed Kudus (Tottenham Hotspur) fired the winning shot, and he defended the lead well and confirmed his direct advance to the finals with a 1-0 victory. Comoros ended up in fourth place in the group and failed to advance to the finals.
Ghana is a man of love and hatred for Korean soccer. In the 2022 Qatar World Cup, he suffered a 2-3 defeat to Bento's team, opening the crisis of elimination from the group stage. In the meantime, South Korea came from behind to win 2-1 against Portugal, and Ghana lost to Uruguay, but at the end of the second half, Bento helped push Uruguay out and reach the round of 16 as second place in the group.
Ghana, ranked 75th in the FIFA rankings as of September, is likely to set up three ports. Considering the one port with the top rankers and the four-port structure, which is expected to include teams in the top 25, the bottom six teams in the rankings and the six teams that will advance to the intercontinental playoffs in March next year, it is likely to go to three ports. South Korea, which has been forced to drop its ranking points due to its crushing defeat against Brazil, can maintain its September ranking of 23rd and go to two ports if it recovers its points with a victory against Paraguay on the 13th. Then, depending on the results of the draw, they could face Ghana again in the group stage for the first time in four years.
