Former President John Mahama has joined the many Ghanaians congratulating the Black Stars for a job well done at Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday evening, the senior national team, led by head coach, Otto Addo, secured a spot at the World Cup tournament after beating the Super Eagles of Nigeria. The game ended with a 1:1 scoreline. However, Ghana qualified based on the away goal rule.<\/p>\n

Thomas Partey opened the scoring in the 10th-minute of the game after sending in a thunderous strike from outside the penalty box to give Ghana the lead, but William Troost-Ekong equalised for the home side.<\/p>\n

Despite several attempts from Nigeria in the second half, there was no goal to separate the two sides as Ghana secured qualification on the away goal rule.<\/p>\n

In reaction, the former President, while showcasing his patriotism, congratulated the team, stating that \u201cYes, we made it. Go Black Stars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Mahama also prayed that the \u201cBlack Stars shine even brighter in Qatar.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Facebook post by the former President also shared a footage in which a brass band rendition of the national anthem was played.<\/p>\n
