Goal: Ghana Breaks Somalia’s Hearts In 45th Minute

According to a report by TV3Gh, on Thursday November 12, 2026, the Black Stars of Ghana have taken a valuable lead against Somalia after defender Adjetey J. produced a decisive aerial finish just before the half-time whistle in their ongoing international encounter.

The Ghanaian defender rose highest inside the penalty area to connect with a delivery from his teammate, directing a powerful header into the back of the net to give the Black Stars a 1-0 advantage in the 45th minute.

The breakthrough came at a crucial moment in the match, ending Ghana’s wait for an opening goal after an entertaining first-half performance in which the team created several attacking opportunities.

Ghana had been pushing forward in search of a goal, with captain Jordan Ayew and Mohammed Kudus among the players who attempted to trouble the Somali defence.

Jordan Ayew had earlier come close to finding the back of the net after embarking on an impressive individual run, but his effort narrowly missed the target.

The Ghana captain also had a penalty saved by the Somali goalkeeper, who produced an important stop to deny him from the spot.

Mohammed Kudus equally tested the opposition goalkeeper with a right-footed attempt, but the Somali shot-stopper was alert enough to make a comfortable save.

Despite those missed opportunities, the Black Stars maintained their attacking pressure and eventually found the breakthrough through Adjetey J.’s well-timed header.

The goal sparked excitement among Ghanaian supporters as the team finally converted its attacking dominance into a lead before the interval.

For Somalia, conceding so close to half-time represents a setback, and the team will need to improve defensively while searching for an equaliser after the restart.

Ghana, on the other hand, will hope to maintain its advantage and add more goals in the second half.

The first half ended with the Black Stars leading Somalia by 1-0, courtesy of Adjetey J.’s important header in the 45th minute.
