Mohammed played the first leg in Accra and scored the penalty that levelled the score at 1-1 setting up the all-important second leg.
He also featured in the second leg and helped the team to get the vital result.
Ghana will join the likes of Egypt, Zambia, Cote d’Ivoire, Mali, Nigeria and Cameroon in the tournament which runs from November 8-22.
Ghana will need to finish among the top three nations in order to book a ticket to the 2020 Olympic Games football tournament.
Ghana is seeking a return to the competition since its last appearance in 2004 in the Athens Olympic Games.
