What happened?

The Black Stars gave away a two-goal advantage to draw 2-2 on Monday night at the Olympic Stadium of Ebimpe and is on the verge of exiting the tournament.

Ghana is currently third in Group B and out of the four best teams placed third in contention for qualification to the round of 16.

Ghana took the lead through Jordan Ayew’s penalties in the first and second halves but chaotic four minutes of added time meant the Black Stars are on the brink of exit as they await all group games to be played by Wednesday before their fate will be confirmed.

Richard Ofori gave away a silly corner that was going out for a goal kick but Ofori decided to touch it.

Mozambique took advantage and scored the equaliser from the corner to finish the game 2-2 draw.
