Egypt vs Ghana: Live stream, TV channel and more

Egypt and Ghana are eager to bounce back in this year's Africa Cup of Nations after facing challenging initial matches.

Ghana suffered a setback in their first game as Cape Verde secured a shocking victory with a 92nd-minute winner from Garry Rodrigues. Despite Alexander Djiku's equalizer, Jamiro Monteiro's opener gave Cape Verde the lead. Meanwhile, Egypt managed to salvage a point in their opening game against Mozambique, with Liverpool star Mo Salah converting a 97th-minute penalty after Mozambique took a 2-1 lead.

Mostafa Mohamed provided Egypt with an early lead after just 89 seconds, but Mozambique's two second-half goals nearly caused one of the biggest upsets in AFCON history. A VAR intervention highlighted a foul on Mohammad, leading to Salah's successful penalty kick that secured a 2-2 draw for Egypt.
