In a dramatic turn of events on the African football stage, Mozambique pulled off a remarkable 2-2 draw against Egypt during their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Group B clash in Abidjan. The initial excitement unfolded with the Pharaohs taking an early lead, courtesy of Mostafa Mohamed's goal in the first half, less than two minutes into the game. However, the Mambas of Mozambique demonstrated resilience and determination, launching a relentless pursuit for an equalizer. Their efforts materialized in the second half when Witiness Quembo found the back of the net in the 55th minute, leveling the playing field. The momentum continued in Mozambique's favor when Clesio Bauque, the hero responsible for qualifying the Mambas for AFCON, swiftly scored in the 58th minute, propelling them to a 2-1 lead. In a stunning turn of events, Mohamed Salah's 90+7 minute penalty leveled the score, bringing the match to a 2-2 conclusion. Now, with both teams earning shared points, the suspense lingers as Mozambique and Egypt await the Group B leader, intricately linked to the outcome of tonight's Ghana and Cape Verde clash.
