Cape Verde vs Egypt: Hapless Ghana keep uninspiring Pharaohs and Salah in AFCON
Despite failing to beat group winners Cape Verde, Egypt qualified for the knockout stages of the Cup of Nations thanks to Ghana.
After the match, Ghanaian journalists blocked the Black Stars team bus from leaving the stadium, which later needed the intervention of CAF security agents.
They also demanded that the head coach Chris Hughton, and other Ghanaian FA administrators should be sacked.
It all started after the players didn’t want to first go through the mixed zone before pressure from journalists forced them. In the end, they were booed, but not all players came out.
Some of the events that took place after the match are embedded below.
Meanwhile, the coach of the Ghanaian Black Stars has taken responsibility for the poor performance in Ivory Coast.
