I'm watching the Ghana vs Nigeria match, and it's tough, but not the kind of toughness I expected from the Nigerian team after all the hype and the caliber of players they brought to the match; they have better and more experienced players than the current Ghana team, but Ghana is playing better than them.
On the other hand, Egypt leads Senegal 1-0 thanks to an early own goal from Ciss; perhaps now is a better time to exact vengeance and eliminate Senegal from the upcoming World Cup, but Senegal is still aiming for a draw.
The outcome of the games for today was quite upsetting for many people betting on what supposed to be the favourite team to win.
Morocco and Nigeria got a draw. Algeria surprised Cameroon. Egypt and Tunisia won by 1 own goal each.. I recommend seeing the goal scored by Mali player in his goal, pretty ridiculous mistake that shouldn't be seen in a professional match..even worst he got a red card 5 minutes after.
I don't bet on international matches because there are always unexpected results, silly own goals, and unnecessary red cards, especially in African qualifiers. The Egypt vs Senegal was a fantastic game in a beautiful stadium, I enjoyed a little part of that game
I too can see that, Ghana tried, but that does not mean Nigeria did not perform. Ghana is not that easy to play against, though Nigeria have experienced players.
They should perform better at home in the second leg; they were below average tonight, and if they repeat that performance in the second leg, Ghana will knock them out.
