Mohammed Kudus scored two magical goals for Ghana but two costly mistakes ensured that Ghana could only salvage a point out of its second Group B match with seven-time record champions Egypt at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium.
The results mean 4-time AFCON champion Ghana has its first point after two games, with one match remaining at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, while perennial winners Egypt have two points.
The two teams are both in search of their first win of the group stage.
Egypt drew the first game of Group B 2-2 against Mozambique, while Ghana lost 2-1 to Cape Verde in the first game, which many Ghanaians expected the national team to scale through unscathed.
After Thursday’s game, many supporters of the Black Stars remained frustrated as the improved performance was ruined by two mistakes, which denied Ghana a fair chance of qualification for the 1/16 stage of the tournament.
Head coach Chris Hughton spoke with some reporters after the game about the performance and the costly errors.
Some players, including Daniel Amartey and Antoine Semenyo, also shared their views on the outperformance of the Black Stars.
Some fans of Ghana spoke with NET2 TV News in Abidjan, where they shared their frustrations on the teams performance with our reporter.
