The match between Ghana and Madagascar ended in a draw, with neither team able to secure a victory. Ghana had the better start to the game and created some opportunities, including a free kick from Jordan Ayew that was well dealt with by the Madagascar defense. Jordan Ayew himself had another chance but was denied by the Malagasy goalkeeper.
Madagascar also had their moments in the match, with Dorian Bertrand delivering a cross that went unconverted. Kamaldeen Sulemana came close to scoring with a curling shot that narrowly missed the post, and Joseph Paintsil had a chance from a rebound.

As the game progressed, Madagascar exerted pressure on Ghana and had opportunities to break the deadlock. Ghana’s Thomas Partey forced a save from the Madagascar goalkeeper from a set piece. In an attempt to find a goal, Ghana made substitutions, bringing in youngster Ernest Nuamah for Sulemana and later introducing Osman Bukari for Joseph Paintsil.
However, neither team could find the winning goal, and the match ended in a draw. Ghana will now have to wait until the final game of Group E to secure their qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations next year.
