Schalke defender Baba Rahman went of injured in the first half for Ghana but they were cheered by Andre Ayew’s first-half penalty in a 1-0 win over Uganda. He came off after just 39 minutes and was replaced by Frank Acheampong. But Ghana failed to find a second goal which would have eased worries of a Uganda levellerafter a series of surprise results so far in Gabon. Coach Avram Grant will hope his side correct their wayward shooting next time out against Mali on Saturday. Egypt, among the tournament favorites with Ghana, kick off their campaign against Mali in Tuesday’s late encounter.
