ISMAILIA, Egypt, June 29-- The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Egypt 2019 Group F clash between Ghana and defending champions Cameroon ended goalless in Ismailia on Saturday. Substitute Kwabena Owusu should have won all three for the Black Stars barely a minute after coming on for Andre Ayew but his cracking shot from the edge of the box came off the crossbar. Andrew Yiadom had a chance five yards from goal a minute later, but saw it saved by Andre Onana. With the result, Cameroon have moved to four points while Ghana are on two points after back to back draws. The Ghanaians have to beat Guinea Bissau on Tuesday to be certain of a place in the next round. On the balance of chances, Cameroon should have gone to the break at least one up. A massive save by Richard Ofori four minutes from time and a timely tackle from Jonathan Mensah earlier on ensured the scores were 0-0 after the opening 45 minutes. Ofori made a brilliant full stretched-save to punch out a shot from Christian Bassogog from inside the box. Ghana were caught in possession with Baba Rahman losing the ball on the left. Karl Toko Ekambi picked up and cut back a cross for Bassogog which was well saved. Ghana had dodged another bullet on the half hour mark when Mensah made a timely tackle to poke the ball off Ekambi's feet after he was sent through with a delightful backheel flick by Zambo Anguissa. Ghana pressed more in the second half as they looked to earn a first ever win over Cameroon in the Africa Cup of Nations. |
