But what a CAN, friends!
The CAN barely recovered from the resounding Ivorian defeat, group B offered a grand finale. Without their guide Mohamed Salah, the Egyptians had to win once morest Cape Verde, already assured of their qualification, while Ghana also had no room for error once morest Mozambique, who might still create the surprise. THE Black Stars are the first to strike thanks to Jordan Ayew from the penalty spot (1-0, 13e) when, at the same time at the Houphouët-Boigny stadium, the Pharaohs came up once morest an inspired Vozinha in the Cape Verdean cage. With 12 shots, there is no shortage of opportunities, but inefficiency is paid for in cash, and Benchimol opens the scoring with a great pivot action (1-0, 45e+1). At the break, Cape Verde was in the lead, ahead of Ghana then Egypt, more in the hot seat than ever.
Trezeguet makes his entrance following returning from the locker room and transforms his team. After a first opportunity, the Trabzonspor player scores and gives his team a breath of fresh air (1-1, 50e). However, more is needed from the men of Rui Vitória, still third. However, at the Alassane-Ouattara Olympic Stadium, the Mambas are giving Ghana a hard time. Manhandled, the Ayew brothers’ teammates nevertheless find the fault, once more from a penalty, via the youngest of the two brothers (2-0, 70e). But this Monday evening, nothing is written until the end. Determined and courageous, Mozambique scores twice in quick succession and equalizes thanks to Geny Catamo also on peno (2-1, 90e+1) et Reinildo (2-2, 90e+4). Almost at the same time, Mostafa Mohamed, with a superb lob, rewards Egypt for its undivided domination and ensures qualification for the Pharaohs (2-1, 90e+3). But as this evening became irrational, Cape Verde found the resources to equalize in turn through Bryan Texeira and remain undefeated (2-2, 90e+9). If it lost its goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy in the last seconds, Egypt will see the eighth, just like Cape Verde, first. Ghana, for its part, is off to a bad start.
These results do the business of the host of the competition, since Côte d’Ivoire is this evening ahead of Ghana in the path of third.
