Egypt and Mali battled to a 0-0 draw in Group D at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations on Tuesday. Despite the presence of players from some of Europe's top leagues, Egypt failed to make their experience and quality count against a resourceful Mali side.
Earlier, Andre Ayew scored from the penalty spot after Asamoah Gyan was fouled in the box, helping Ghana beat Uganda 1-0. His goal means Ghana are setting the early pace in the group.
