The Pharaohs came close to disaster on Sunday, since their captain Mohamed Salah only equalized from the penalty spot in added time against Mozambique (2-2), who have never won a single match in five participation in the African Cup.
The Black Stars, for their part, got their fingers caught in the door, slammed by Cape Verde, who confirmed their progress in recent years by winning in the last minutes (2-1).
