Comoros pulls off historic upset to knock out Ghana on AFCON debut
CNN
The tiny archipelago nation of Comoros pulled off one of the all-time great African Cup of Nations (AFCON) upsets with a 3-2 Group C victory over Ghana on Tuesday, dumping the four-time champion out of the tournament in Cameroon.
Having only been admitted as a member of FIFA in 2005, Africa's fourth smallest country -- ranked 132nd in the world -- stunned a Ghanaian side dotted with Premier League stars on their tournament debut to secure their first ever AFCON win.
Ahmed Mogni's close-range finish five minutes from time decided a pulsating match, sparking euphoric dressing room scenes and giving Comoros a chance to qualify for the knockout stages as one of four best-ranked third-placed sides, should results in the remaining undecided groups go their way.
