The Black Stars have taken the initiative in Group G of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers after beating Ethiopia 1-0 in Ghana.
The team will travel to Johannesburg on Saturday ahead of the second group G clash with the Bafana Bafana of South Africa.
South Africa were held in their first game by Zimbabwe in Harare, after a pulsating goalless draw.
Meanwhile, following a lackluster performance, the Black Stars managed to secure all three points after Mubarak Wakaso's long range effort shockingly eluded the Ethiopian goalkeeper.
The Black Stars will be without several players for the match against South Africa, following travel restrictions by the English and German Football Associations.
Daniel Amartey, Jordan Ayew, Baba Rahman, Andy Yiadom, Daniel Kofi-Kyereh and Braydon Manu will all not travel to South Africa.
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that, Ghana's senior national team, the Black Stars, started the 2022 World Cup with a hard fought victory over the Walia Ibex of Ethiopia on Friday night in Cape Coast.
Mubarak Wakaso's 37th minute strike separated the two sides on a cold night at the Cape Coast Stadium in Ghana.
Both sides started the game knowing a win will send them top of the table after Group G opponents South Africa and Zimbabwe played a goalless draw in Harare.
