The Black Stars wasted no time asserting their authority, with Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo opening the scoring in just the second minute.
The 25-year-old striker pounced on the rebound after Chad goalkeeper Jourdain Mbaynassem saved his initial attempt.
Ghana doubled their lead in the 31st minute when Kingsley Schindler’s pinpoint cross found Inaki Williams, who made no mistake with a powerful header.
Five minutes later, Semenyo’s surging run into the box was halted by Chad defender Issa Lony Hassaballaha, leading to a penalty.
Captain Jordan Ayew stepped up and confidently slotted home, giving Ghana a commanding 3-0 lead at halftime.
The onslaught continued in the second half as Ghana capitalised on Chad’s defensive struggles.
In the 56th minute, a corner from Ernest Nuamah found Mohammed Salisu, who was left unmarked and easily headed in the fourth goal.
Nuamah then added his name to the scoresheet in the 68th minute, finishing off a clever backheel assist from Ayew inside the box.
With this emphatic victory, the West Africa nation strengthened their bid for World Cup qualification and will now turn their attention to Monday’s crucial clash against Madagascar.
With momentum on their side, Otto Addo’s team will aim to replicate this performance against Great Red Island, keeping their dreams of reaching 2026 alive.
