Ayew kept up his impressive national goalscoring record by netting in the FIFA World Cup Qualifier, making it three in the last four for the Black Stars, while winger Fatawu was also involved for the first time since November 2024.

Starting their ninth group stage game in the centre forward position, it was Monaco defender Mohammed Salisu who broke the deadlock after 20 minutes, with the only breakthrough of the first half.

Putting the pressure on after the break, goals were quickly added by Thomas Partey, Alexander Djiku and City's No.9, Ayew. Former Southampton winger Kamaldeen Sulemana, who came on for Fatawu, rounded off the scoreline three minutes from time.

Fatawu played 76 minutes of the qualifier in Morocco.

A seventh win keeps Ghana top of the group, three points clear of second-placed Madagascar and with a plus-eight goal difference. The Leicester pair have the chance to play again on Sunday in a final group stage game against Comoros (8pm kick-off).

Later on in the evening, Daka led the line for Zambia in their qualification game against Tanzania. Already out of the running for progression to next summer's World Cup, pride was still on the line.

It took until the 75th minute for the first goal to come, when Fashion Sakala found the net for the away side, leading to victory at Amaan Stadium.

Playing 84 minutes for his country, Daka may have the opportunity to feature once more when the Copper Bullets take on Niger this Sunday (2pm kick-off).
