Ghana Qualifies for Brazil 2014
The Black Stars of Ghana have secured a third successive World Cup finals appearance despite a 2-1 defeat by Egypt in the second leg of their playoff in Cairo. Ghana won 7-3 
on aggregate and will be in Brazil in 2014.
Egypt, playing in crisis ridden Cairo for the first time in two years, restored some pride with victory on Tuesday night after goals by the former Wigan Athletic forward Amr Zaki and Hull City’s striker Gedo. Kevin-Prince Boateng, of Schalke 04, grabbed a late goal for Ghana.
The game opened up in the final 10 minutes and Gedo was on target in the 86th minute when he collected a pass from Mohamed Salah and blasted the ball low past Dauda.
Ghana then exploited some gaps at the back, with Asamoah Gyan, the former Sunderland striker, finding space on the right and his low cross was turned in by Boateng.
For Egypt it is another heart-breaking qualification near-miss, having not appeared at the World Cup since Italia 90 despite winning an unmatched four Africa Nations Cup titles in the same period.
