2025 Unity Cup: Black Stars thrash Trinidad and Tobago 4-0 to finish third

Skipper Jordan Ayew’s thunderous strike outside the penalty box gave Ghana the lead in the 5th minute.

The team did not relent, continuously pressing, which led to Nations FC defender Razak Simpson netting the second with a nice shot to double the lead in the 11th minute.

Mohammed Fuseini scored the third after Jordan Ayew set him up, ending the first half with a 3-0 scoreline.

In the second half, Lawrence Agyekum turned and twisted the Trinidad defender, and his shot passed through the legs of the goalkeeper to make it 4-0.

The Black Stars created several chances but were unable to convert them.

Goalie Ati-Zigi barely made any major saves as the defense prevented their opponent from penetrating.

Much-talked-about Caleb Yirenkyi starred once again, while Simpson redeemed himself after scoring an own goal in the first match.

Ghana finished in third place, with Nigeria and Jamaica yet to battle for the ultimate trophy.

The game served as a good opportunity for head coach Otto Addo, who tried out most of the young and first-timers, aiming to create competition within the team.

The Black Stars’ next assignment will be the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, to be played in September 2025.

Two wins will be enough for the team to secure qualification for the World Cup.
