Ghana experiences a forgettable night as they squander a 2-0 lead, drawing with Mozambique in the Africa Cup of Nations at Stade Alassane Ouattara. Jordan Ayew of Crystal Palace showcased his prowess by scoring both goals from the penalty spot, securing an early advantage. However, Mozambique staged a stunning comeback in stoppage time, netting two goals within four minutes, leaving Ghanaians in disappointment.
This unexpected turn of events led to Ghana's elimination from the 2023 AFCON, and Egypt took advantage by leapfrogging them in Group B, securing qualification with just a one-point difference. Egypt faced a tough night against group leaders Cape Verde, relinquishing their lead, but the Blue Sharks managed a last-minute equalizer through Bryan Teixeira, extending their unbeaten run in the tournament's group stage.
