It was a night to remember for Kamaldeen Sulemana, who finally opened his goal account for the Black Stars in Ghana’s emphatic 5-0 win over the Central African Republic in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The Atlanta winger, who has long been tipped as one of Ghana’s brightest attacking prospects, was visibly emotional after finding the back of the net for the first time in national colours.
“I’ve been waiting for so long to score my first Black Stars goal. It means a lot to me,” Kamaldeen said after the match, smiling as teammates Mohammed Kudus and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku joined him in celebration.
The 22-year-old’s late strike capped off a sensational team performance that saw goals from Mohammed Salisu, Thomas Partey, Alexander Djiku, and Jordan Ayew propel Ghana closer to World Cup qualification.
With qualification now within touching distance, Kamaldeen’s long-awaited goal may well mark the beginning of a new chapter, not just for him, but for a young and exciting Black Stars attack finding its rhythm at the perfect time.
