Ghana took a huge step towards reaching their third straight World Cup finals by thrashing Egypt 6-1 in the first leg of their 2014 play-off.
Asamoah Gyan thumped in the opener and it was 2-0 after Michael Essien's run led to an own-goal from Wael Gomaa.
Egypt's Mohamed Aboutrika scored a penalty but Majeed Waris headed in to make it 3-1 and Gyan headed another.
A Sulley Muntari penalty and a late strike by Christian Atsu put Ghana in total control of the tie.
The match had been billed as the tightest of the five African play-off ties that will decide who will make it to next year's tournament in Brazil.
Done and dusted.
