Mohammed Kudus\u00a0returned to action from injury with an impressive performance as he struck twice for the\u00a0Black Stars\u00a0in their second group game in the\u00a02023 Africa Cup of Nations\u00a0(AFCON) against\u00a0Egypt<\/strong><\/p>\nThe nail-biting encounter saw the four-time champions give away the lead twice as they played out a captivating 2-2 draw, showcasing a rollercoaster of emotions and remarkable individual performances.<\/p>\n
Ghana, eager to bounce back from their initial 2-1 loss to\u00a0Cape Verde, started the game on a positive note. Mohammed Kudus, displaying his attacking prowess, struck a powerful shot from outside the box on the eve of halftime, providing Ghana with a 1-0 lead after receiving a precise pass from Salis Samed.<\/p>\n
However, defensive lapses haunted Ghana when\u00a0Inaki Williams\u2018 unfortunate back pass was intercepted by Egypt, leading to an equaliser from Omar Marmoush. Marmoush skillfully maneuvered past the goalkeeper to level the score.<\/p>\n
Undeterred, Kudus once again showcased his brilliance, receiving a well-timed pass from Denis Odoi and curling the ball into the far corner to regain the lead for Ghana, making it 2-1.<\/p>\n
The seesaw battle continued as a lackluster performance from substitute\u00a0Osman Bukari\u00a0allowed Egypt to draw level once more. Mostafa Mohamed capitalised on Trezeguet\u2019s cutback, sealing the match with a 2-2 deadlock.<\/p>\n
With Ghana now holding one point and Egypt with two, the pressure intensifies for both teams as they look ahead to the final group game. Ghana will face\u00a0Mozambique\u00a0in a must-win encounter, aiming to secure victory and progress to the next stage of the tournament.<\/p>\n
