Ghana vs Egypt - African Cup of Nations Final

Filed in archive Africa on January 29, 2010

Yesterday in the African Cup of Nations saw Ghana defeat Nigeria 1-0 in a tightly contested game of football and Egypt defeat Algeria in one that was rather less so. The bitter rivals battled it out on the pitch and looked like, even at 2-0, it could go against the holders until Mohamed Abdelshafy scored Egypt's 3rd in the 81st minute. Algeria finished the game with 8 men, and while it was a tough game its a testament to Egypt's skill that they only received one yellow card. Belhadj was sent off for Algeria in the 70th minute, and the balance shifted totally.

Ghana vs Egypt - African Cup of Nations Final


Ghana have made it this far with three 1-0 wins. The holders Egypt, however, who are going for their third consecutive final victory, defeated Algeria, the team who came back at 2-1 down in stoppage time to knock out the favourites Ivory Coast 3-2. They'll also be going for their 19th consecutive game as undefeated in the competition. Not since 2004 was their last defeat recorded, when Algeria beat them 2-1.
