Mohamed Eneny’s Egypt battled back twice to earn a hard-fought 2-2 with Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations on Thursday.
Our midfielder played 68 minutes of the game in Abidjan in the Ivory Coast on what was his 97th cap, but his 100th appearance in total for his country when you include non-FIFA sanctioned matches.
A drab match burst into life just before half-time when Mohamed Salah was forced off injured, and moments later West Ham United’s Mohammed Kudus blasted the Black Stars in front.
However Egypt battled back after the break and levelled when Omar Marmoush rounded goalkeeper Richard Ofori after an errant backpass by Inaki Williams to slot home, but parity lasted just two minutes when Kudus saw a deflected strike deceive Mohamed El Shenawy in the Pharoahs’ goal.
