Although neutralized by Cape Verde this Monday, Egypt is qualified for the round of 16 of the CAN. The other result of the evening could also benefit Algeria.
The Pharaohs came close to disaster this Monday but all is well that ends well. While Ghana was leading against Mozambique, Egypt, like Ivory Coast, found itself in an unfortunate position, forced to rely on a combination of circumstances to hope for a better third place and reach the eighth of final. In the end, this is not the case.
If victory eluded the Egyptians despite the advantage in the score assured by Mohamed in added time (90e+3) after the achievements of Benchimol (45e+1) and Trezeguet (50e) on both sides – Teixeira having struck in turn for the Blue Sharks (2-2, 90e+9), the seven-time African champions have indeed won the second winning ticket in their group.
A draw is enough for Algeria
At the same time, Ghana – which led 2-0 against Mozambique after two penalties converted by Jordan Ayew (15e70e) – collapsed, joined in the final seconds (2-2), on goals signed Catamo (90e+1 on penalty) and Mandava (90e+4). A result almost synonymous with elimination for the Black Stars, and hope for the Ivory Coast, which after its shipwreck of the day in front of Equatorial Guinea (0-4) can still inherit one of the four sesames promised to the best thirds. Same thing for Algeria, which can now settle for a draw against Mauritania on Tuesday to see the round of 16.
