What a final in this group B, what a scenario to drive the Egyptian and Ghanaian supporters crazy in particular.
Record holder for titles won, Egypt had one foot and four toes close to the exit door of CAN 2024. For having been led first to Cape Verde after a goal from Tavares (45+1) and being joined in stoppage time (90+9) when she had managed to overthrow the Blue Sharks by Trezguet (50th) and Mohamed (90+2).
But, it was said that the football gods were Egyptian and that perhaps, they had chosen to give one more chance to a team that wrote the most beautiful pages in the history of the CAN.
Because who could bet on the Pharaons qualifying with only three points on the clock, without a single match won?
If Mohamed Salah's friends, who suffered injury, have won the right to continue the adventure, they only owe it to the failure of Ghana, another monument which has continued to decline in recent years.
Ghana is almost eliminated from the CAN after its draw against Mozambique.

The Blacks will have a hard time being forgiven for this elimination which hangs in their face, as in 2022. While they were leading 2-0 against Mozambique, Ghana lost the thread and were caught in stoppage time. on two set pieces, penalty from Catamo (91+1) and header from a corner by Reinildo (90+4).
Unlikely scenario as Jordan Ayew effectively converted two penalties (15th and 70th) and his older brother equaled the record for matches played, 36, at the African Cup by coming on at the start of the second half.
Ghana are in a bad position with only two points, and must pray and hope to advance to the round of 16.
Even when we are in a worse situation than that of Côte d'Ivoire.
