Ghana regain their lead in the second half  after Samuel Obeng netted just a minute into the second half.

The young Pharaohs took charge of the game from thereon and deservedly grab the winning goal courtesy Yasser Rayan six minutes later.

"We played a great game but lost in the end, this is football. I congratulate Egypt on qualifying. We will play to win against Mali and hope for a favorable result from Egypt match against Cameroon," Tanko said after the game.
