Saturday\u2019s clash was billed as a make-or-break for the World Cup hopes for both sides, with Uganda two points behind Egypt and Ghana a further two back.<\/p>\n<p>However, a number of missed chances from both sides and poor officiating meant neither side could find a breakthrough.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana had two legitimate goals disallowed and had a strong penalty appeal waved away by South African referee Daniel Bennett.<\/p>\n<p>The Pharaohs can now clinch a spot at next year\u2019s World Cup with a win over Congo on Sunday, opening up an unassailable four-point lead at the top of the group.<\/p>\n<p>With Ghana needing to win to stand any chance of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and with several key players missing, Kwesi Appiah went with a new look squad for today\u2019s game. Ghana will now face a nervous wait as Egypt host Congo on Sunday, where a draw will end the team\u2019s chances of making it to Russia.<\/p>\n<p><b>Watch the video below<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wB8-cTfDgBE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 56 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Saturday, 7 October 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-10-07 play videoGhana had two legitimate goals disallowed &#13; Ghana\u2019s chances of qualifying to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia are effectively over, after the Black Stars failed to beat the Cranes of Uganda in Kampala on Saturday.
