Unless Ghana capitulate when the qualifiers resume in August 2020‚ their home win over main pool rivals SA, followed by an away victory on Monday, means it is highly likely they will finish in the top two in the pool‚ leaving the others to fight over one position. São Tomé e Príncipe were physical‚ but barely packed any sort of punch upfront as Ghana controlled all the possession without creating a host of chances.

Jordan Ayew scored a penalty early in the second half after a horrendous mistake from São Tomé e Príncipe goalkeeper Gilmar Eusebio‚ who dropped a routine catch and then pulled Emmanuel Boateng to the ground as the forward went to chase the loose ball.
