AFCON 2023: Egypt 2-2 Ghana

 

 

By FARAI Cheuka

What a clash between Ghana and Egypt in the group B at AFCON 2023 at the Felix Houphpuet-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

The game of the tournament so far? I’d say so.

Until stoppage time, the first half was very poor but it exploded into life when Salah was withdrawn with an injury.

And, from there, it was non-stop action.

In the end, a draw seems fair but Ghana will be kicking themselves that they have come away empty handed having been in front twice.

Ghana remain bottom of Group B.They have not won in 6 AFCON Group Games now and have no one to blame but themselves.

 

 

 

And here are the stats behind the pulsating draw.
