Already top of African Group I ahead of kick-off, the gap to second-placed Comoros has now been extended to four points, albeit having played one game more.

An enterprising run from Mohammed Kudus down the right channel gave the Tottenham Hotspur man enough room to thread the ball through to Ayew, who was in the right place to convert from close range.

There was late frustration for the Black Stars, mind you, as Célestin Ecua levelled for the home side in N'Djamena to deny Ayew’s side a crucial victory.

Matchday eight of 10 arrives on Monday, against Mali on home soil in Accra, with the chance to close in on a place at the finals in Canada, Mexico and the United States.

Wales, on the other hand, are also hoping to reach the World Cup and they had new Foxes loan signing Jordan James among their substitutes for the trip to Kazakhstan later in the day.

AFC Wrexham striker Kieffer Moore struck in the first half for the Dragons, giving them a 1-0 lead, which they had to battle hard to preserve.

James came on for Craig Bellamy's men in the 77th minute, helping his country protect their lead, keeping them top of Group J, on 10 points, having played a game more than North Macedonia, who lie two points behind.
