In a group B that is more open than expected, the second day of the African Cup of Nations will give rise to a huge shock, this Thursday at 9 p.m., between Egypt, which is one of the tournament favorites, and Ghana. Two historic selections, winners of the competition on multiple occasions, but who find themselves with their backs to the wall after poorly controlled opening matches.
Faced with a surprising selection from Mozambique, Egypt, finalist of the last edition, was indeed very scared on Sunday. Trailing for almost half an hour, the Pharaohs only managed to secure a draw (2-2) after added time, thanks to a saving penalty from their star Mohamed Salah. After this free warning, the players of Rui Vitoria are still looking for a first success, which would put them in a good position in the race for the eighth.
For Ghana, on the other hand, the situation is already critical. For its start, the selection led by André Ayew, who is playing his eighth CAN in Ivory Coast, completely missed out against Cape Verde (1-2). While they started the match as favorites, the Black Stars lost at the end of the match, with a goal from Garry Rodrigues, without really putting up any resistance. They no longer have the right to defeat, under penalty of elimination.
Egypt-Ghana kicks off this Thursday, January 18 at 9 p.m. The meeting will be broadcast on BeIN Sports 2 and live with commentary on leparisien.fr
