Cranes AFCON group opponents on the way to play finals

A few home fans are biased about Cranes’ bottom finish at the 2017
AFCON, Gabon but our dear fans relax because those critically
following AFCON, would now be praising the boys for the wonderful
representation. Ghana and Egypt our group D opponent are one step to
the finals after reaching semi-finals yesterday.

Black Stars Ghana yesterday knocked out composed DR Congo team, thanks
to goals from the Ayew brothers. In the other game, in relation to
what Egypt did to Uganda, dominant Moroccan side were iced up in the
87th minute as Mahmoud Kahraba netted the late winner for the
Pharaohs’.


Such stats clearly indicate that our inexperienced team was solid
enough to display good football against the two giants. On paper,
Egypt and Ghana have more potential and chance to reach the 2017 AFCON
finals.
