Ghana and Egypt play an entertaining 2-2 draw as both countries share one point each in their second group match of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
A Mohammed Kudus brace wasn’t enough for Ghana to secure the win in their African Nations Cup clash with Egypt as goals from Omar Marmoush and Mostafa Mohamed meant the points were shared. Both sides remain winless in the competition after two games and there was more concern for Egypt who saw Mohamed Salah limp off just before the break.
It was a fairly even start to the game, with neither side enjoying decent chances or seeing a great deal more of the ball than the other. However, things went terrible for Egypt and wonderful for Ghana in a short space of time as Salah went down off the ball and was substituted with an apparent injury in first-half stoppage time. A minute later, Ghana was in the lead as Kudus fired in a beautiful goal from the edge of the box.
Egypt thought they had pulled level early in the second half when Mohamed Abdelmonem put the ball in the back of the net but the goal was ruled out for offside. Egypt carved out another good chance when Omar Marmoush, who was excellent throughout, tested Richard Ofori’s resolve with a dangerous shot but the Ghana goalkeeper pulled off a strong save.
