Chad held Ghana to a 1–1 draw in a FIFA World Cup qualification clash in Group I, with the hosts producing a spirited performance despite Ghana's superior expected goals. Jordan Ayew opened the scoring for the visitors, but Chad equalised to secure a point that extends their unbeaten run in the group. Ghana created the more dangerous chances, registering 0.61 xG compared to Chad's 0.34, yet the hosts' 4–2–3–1 setup proved resilient in defence. Ghana's goalkeeper faced a post-shot xG conceded of 1.0 and made saves in line with expectation, indicating neither side squandered gilt-edged opportunities. The draw leaves both teams level on points in a tightly contested qualification battle where defensive organisation proved as valuable as attacking prowess.
