Senegal beat Ghana in thriller

Mongomo - Senegal beat Ghana 2-1 in an electrifying Africa Cup of Nations Group C opener after substitute Moussa Sow scored a dramatic late winner to complete his team's comeback on Monday.

Sow drilled in a low shot with almost the last kick of the game in added time after Mame Biram Diouf had cancelled out Andrew Ayew's first-half penalty for Ghana.

The result was a sour start for former Chelsea boss Avram Grant in his first match in charge of Ghana, with the quadruple former winners now under pressure to advance from the 16-nation tournament's toughest group.

Algeria and South Africa, the other two teams in the group, meet later on Monday.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
