Ghana's Black Stars lost 2-2 to Egypt in their second group match at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after twice letting leads go.

The squad lost despite having a great start and an early lead thanks to a brace from Mohammed Kudus because of individual mistakes. The Black Stars' aggressive approach did not pay off, and they were unable to get past Egypt's defense. The Egyptian goalkeeper easily stopped Kudus's first effort from outside the box.

In the first half, neither team posed much of a danger, and Egypt controlled the ball. owing to Mohamed Salah's withdrawal from Liverpool owing to a possible hamstring injury, Egypt's coach Rui Vitoria had to make a first-half substitute.

Kudus, who was given the ball by Salis Abdul Samed, broke the tie with an incredible curling shot to give Ghana the advantage. Despite the disallowed goal and the vital stop made by goalkeeper Richard Ofori, Egypt equalized through Marmoush, who took advantage of an Inaki Williams defensive blunder.

The game ended in a 2-2 draw, leaving both teams to share the points. Ghana will now look to their final match against Mozambique to secure qualification for the next round of the tournament.
