It was indeed a spectacular match! Ghana’s resounding 6-1 victory over Egypt in the first leg of the 2014 World Cup play-offs showcased the Black Stars’ attacking prowess. Asamoah Gyan, with his early goal in the 5th minute, set the tone for a dominant performance.
Wael Gomaa’s own goal added to Egypt’s misery, and Majeed Warris, Sulley Muntari, and Christian Atsu contributed to the goal fest. Despite the overwhelming scoreline, Abou Treika salvaged some pride for Egypt by converting a penalty.
The result puts Ghana in a commanding position for World Cup qualification, but Egypt will have to conjure a miraculous comeback in the second leg to keep their hopes alive. The Kumasi crowd witnessed a football spectacle, and the return leg promises to be eagerly anticipated.
