Egypt won a draw against Ghana this Thursday for the 2nd day of the group stage of CAN 2023 (2-2).
After a disappointing draw against Mozambique (2-2) for its entry into this African Cup of Nations, Egypt was expected to turn the corner for its second outing. And it was the other big name of the group, Ghana, which presented itself on the road to the Pharaohs, this Thursday evening, for an enticing poster between two of the most successful nations in the history of African football.
For Mohamed Salah and his teammates, this meeting had everything of a trap match since Ghana was obliged to react after its surprise defeat conceded against Cape Verde (1-2). And in this shock that seemed like a turning point for this group of surprises, no one had the last word.
Egypt will be satisfied with it
Kudus allowed Ghana to take the lead in stoppage time in the first half (0-1, 45th+3), before a period of a few completely crazy minutes after the break. After Marmoush’s equalizer (1-1, 69th), the same Kudus scored his double to restore the advantage to the Black Stars (1-2, 71st), but Nantais Mohamed allowed Egypt to resurface (2-2, 74th). Much awaited, Mo Salah did not find the net. The Pharaohs will be satisfied with it. They take second place in this group led by Cape Verde.
