The Black Stars face a decisive match against Mozambique on Monday, aiming to secure a spot in the knockout stages of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
With a defeat and a draw in their opening games, Ghana needs a resounding win over Mozambique, coupled with a favorable outcome in the Egypt match, to finish second in Group B.
“If the Pharaohs win, the Black Stars' fate will depend on results from other groups,” states the report. The situation intensified after South Africa's convincing 4-0 victory over Namibia in Group E.
A draw in their final game could place South Africa among the third-best-placed teams, further complicating Ghana's qualification scenario.
The report outlines six teams that could finish as the best third-placed sides, highlighting Group A's battle between host Cote d'Ivoire and Equatorial Guinea. In Group B, Ghana's goal advantage is crucial for a potential third-place finish.
Group C features Cameroon facing the Gambia, with Guinea needing to avoid defeat against Senegal. Group D involves Algeria, Burkina Faso, and Angola, with the possibility of a better third-place side emerging.
South Africa in Group E requires just a point to qualify but faces a challenge against Tunisia.
The fate of the Black Stars hinges on multiple outcomes, creating suspense and uncertainty as the tournament progresses.
Ghana's performance against Mozambique, combined with results from other groups, will determine their path to the AFCON knockout stages.
