Egypt vs Ghana
A masterclass performance from Ghana’s star man Kudus was not enough to secure victory against Egypt at the AFCON 2023.
Up against the Pharaohs, who lost their main man, Mohamed Salah after just 45 minutes, Ghana took a shock lead when Kudus rifled home a stunner from outside the box in first-half-added time.
However, a defensive error allowed Egypt to equalise in the 69th minute to make it 1-1.
The 22-year-old West Ham star struck again, two minutes after Egypt’s leveller to restore Ghana’s lead only for Mostafa Mohamed to draw the Pharaohs level again three minutes later in dramatic style.
Oshoala reacts
Following another match in which the Ghanaians have dropped points, FC Barcelona star, Oshoala, took to her social media account to declare open the cooking of Ghana.
“We start this banter in the name of the father …..lead us as we embark on this sweet aromatic cooking ….Amen,” she posted on X, setting the tone for a lively exchange of words between supporters of the two African powerhouses.
