An injury to Asamoah Gyan added insult to losing top spot in AFCON Group D for Ghana after a loss to Egypt, although both teams advanced

Egypt snatched top spot in Group D of the Africa Cup of Nations on Wednesday thanks to a 1-0 win over Ghana, who could be without star striker Asamoah Gyan in the quarter-finals.

Mohamed Salah's blistering early free-kick was the only goal of the game at Stade de Port-Gentil in Gabon, and Egypt, having qualified for the knockout stages in top spot, will be back at the same venue on Sunday for a last-eight showdown with Morocco.
