Egypt recorded their second 2-2 draw at AFCON 2024, with the Pharaohs twice coming from behind to hold Ghana in Abidjan.

PLAYER RATINGS
Egypt: El Shenawy 5, Kamal 6, Hegazy 6, Abdelmonem 6, Hamdy 6, Fathy 6, Elneny 6, Salah 5, Marmoush 8, Ashour 6, Mohamed 6. Subs: Fathi 6, Trezeguet 7, Attia 6

PLAYER OF THE MATCH – MOHAMED KUDUS (GHANA)
With a special mention to Marmoush, According to Accra Street Journal, Mo. Kudus gets the nod for his two goals. While his second one had a good stroke of fortune to it, his opener was a thing of beauty.
Kudus has been putting away some great goals for West Ham this season, and his 10th international strike was right up there with the best of them according to ASJ Sports. It would be a great shame if he is not able to shine later on in the tournament, but the Black Stars might have to win their last group match, against Mozambique, to qualify.
