Ghana Dazzles with 4-0 Victory Over Trinidad and Tobago in Unity Cup Thriller
What an afternoon it was for the Black Stars of Ghana as they delivered a commanding performance in Brentford to claim third place in the 2025 Unity Cup. Facing Trinidad and Tobago in the third-place play-off, Ghana showed resilience, flair, and clinical finishing to secure a resounding 4-0 win at the GTech Community Stadium. The match may have been billed as a consolation fixture, but the intensity on the pitch said otherwise.
Right from the first whistle, Ghana meant business. Captain Jordan Ayew set the tone early, curling in a beautiful opener that left the Trinidad and Tobago defense stunned. That early goal not only fired up the Ghanaian squad but also ignited the crowd, who could sense something special brewing. Ayew wasn’t done yet — he turned provider shortly after, delivering pinpoint crosses that resulted in two more goals. Razak Simpson made it 2-0 with a confident header, and Mohammed Fuseini smashed in the third after a lightning-quick counterattack, registering his first senior international goal in the process.

The Black Stars controlled the midfield with poise, thanks to Sulemana and Lawrence Agyekum, who was later rewarded with a goal of his own. Agyekum’s strike, the fourth of the afternoon, came from a tight angle and took a deflection off the goalkeeper before finding the back of the net. By then, the Soca Warriors looked out of steam and unable to mount any real challenge, despite a flurry of second-half substitutions from their coach, Dwight Yorke.
One of the standout moments came when Ayew, after notching a goal and two assists, handed over the captain’s armband to Gideon Mensah as he exited the pitch. It was a classy gesture that underlined the team’s depth and camaraderie. In a match that also saw exciting talents like 19-year-old Caleb Yirenkyi impress on the flanks, Ghana made a loud statement ahead of their preparations for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The win is a morale booster for Ghana, especially after their narrow 2-1 defeat to Nigeria earlier in the tournament. They may not have reached the final, but this dominant display serves as a reminder of the Black Stars’ potential when firing on all cylinders. For Trinidad and Tobago, it’s a tough loss — particularly after showing so much heart in their previous match against Jamaica — but they’ll take away valuable lessons from this international outing.
All in all, the Unity Cup’s return after more than two decades has been an exciting spectacle, and Ghana’s bronze medal finish, sealed with style, will be remembered as one of the tournament’s highlights.
