At the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the Black Stars twice gave away the lead to tie with Egypt in their second group match.
Mohammed Kudus scored twice in the match, but the team lost three points due to individual errors, ending in a 2-2 draw with the Pharaohs.
The Black Stars started the game strong and applied pressure to the Egyptians, but they were unable to penetrate their defence.
Kudus had his first opportunity at goal, but the keeper easily stopped his shot from slightly outside the box.
For much of the first half, neither team posed much of a danger, but Egypt possessed the bulk of the ball.
Mohamed Salah, a forward for Liverpool, appeared to have injured his hamstring, forcing Rui Vitoria to make a change in the first half.
Kudus made the difference shortly after being substituted out, scoring his first goal in the continental tournament with a brilliant curler that beat the custodian and put Ghana ahead.
After receiving a pass from Salis Abdul Samed, the West Ham United player beat his defender to open the score.
Minutes after the break, Egypt came dangerously close to regaining the lead, but their setpiece goal was disallowed for offside.
A few moments later, Orlando Pirates player Richard Ofori was likewise called upon to make an excellent save.
Finally, Egypt equalised through Marmoush, who rounded off the custodian and placed the ball into an empty net after receiving a back pass from Inaki Williams.
Their happiness was short-lived, though, as Kudus scored another goal, this time after receiving a ball from Denis Odoi.
He gave the squad their lead back, but Ghana let it slip for the second time.
