A
stoppage time winner from Moussa Sow saw Senegal complete an impressive
comeback against Ghana, the striker netting with the last kick of the game to
secure a 2-1 win. Sow, preferred off the bench to Newcastle's Papiss Cisse, was
in the right place at the right time to grab a back-post winner with seconds left
on the clock. Before the dramatic ending it had been Premier League stars who
had taken centre stage as two of Africa's most star-studded sides played out an
entertaining game in Mongomo.
On Match Day 2 at ongoing African Cup of Nations (AFCON), in a Group C clash, Senegal has
dramatically defeated the Black Star of Ghana by 2 goals to 1, Daily Mail reports.
The
Ghanaian team adds an impressive performance within the first 15 minutes of the
game and was able to record the first goal in the match through a penalty but
returned for the second half only to play more of what seemed to be defensive.
Meanwhile, the
Senegalese came all out for victory in the second half and got it.
Senegal
got the equalizer and continued to mount more pressure on the Black Stars until
Moussa Sow got a long pass at the 93rd minute of the match to put the score
line at 2-1.
Meanwhile
Algeria came from behind to defeat South Africa 3-1.

Many
people’s pre-tournament favourites, Algeria had started the brighter,
controlling the game and dominating possession, but created very little in the
way of clear-cut chances.
Tottenham’s
Nabil Bentaleb produced a good header from a free kick early on, bringing a
save from Darren Keet in the South African goal, but for the most part the
Desert Foxes were limited to shots from range. Ryad Mahrez, the Leicester City
winger, had very little impact, and was withdrawn after an hour.
South Africa meanwhile were happy to get men
behind the ball, utilizing the pace of Bournemouth striker Rantie on the break.
