Match Events

12' CLOSE! Atsu’s long shot wide out

Ghana get the ball moving quickly forward with Atsu driving up the pitch, before cutting in and whacking a shot just wide with his left. Sadly, for him, it looks like he has damaged himself and needs treatment.

28' Jordan Ayew almost catches the vicious cross in box

Jordan Ayew is given the chance to prove me wrong when a vicious cross lands on the edge of the six-yard box but the stretching striker can’t control the ball and it bounces out for a goal kick.

40' CLOSE! Ofori denies Bassogog’s effort

Some fine work by the Cameroon attackers, ending with Bassogog getting the ball in space in the area from a Toko pullback but his shot from 12 yards is close to the goalkeeper who sticks his arm up to tip it over.

Match Report

Ghana remain winless at the Africa Cup of Nations after they were held to a 0-0 draw by Group F leaders Cameroon at the Ismailia Stadium.

Kwesi Appiah's side could only manage a 2-2 draw against Benin in their opening game and they were frustrated again versus a Cameroon side who move on to four points at the group's summit.

Ghana came agonisingly close to sealing all three points in the closing stages when substitute Owusu Kwabena's powerful drive crashed back off the crossbar. 

However, they will now be under pressure when they face Guinea-Bissau on Tuesday in their final group game. Cameroon, meanwhile, are in pole position to qualify for the last 16 and face Benin on the same day.
