Ghana’s 6-1 victory over Egypt in the first leg of the 2014 World Cup play-offs marked a historic moment, equating to Egypt’s heaviest defeat in 23 years. The Pharaohs’ previous 6-1 defeat dates back to October 10, 1990, in a friendly match against Greece.
Considering Egypt’s strong football legacy, with a record number of African Cup of Nations victories and numerous participations, this defeat was unexpected. Egypt has always been regarded as one of the top teams in African football.
The question now is whether Egypt can stage a remarkable comeback in the second leg to keep their World Cup hopes alive. Football enthusiasts are eager to witness the drama unfold in the return fixture.
