The Africa Cup of Nations has officially opened, the biggest surprise is probably that runner-up Egypt only got a draw against Mozambique.

Ivory Coast, the host of this year's AFCON, won 2-0 against Guinea Bissau in their first match at AFCON, but the following few matches produced unexpected results. Egypt, who finished runner-up at the most recent AFCON, were held to a 2-2 draw by Mozambique.

Egypt even needed Mohamed Salah's 96th minute penalty to bring home 1 point. Meanwhile Ghana, who were without Arsenal star Thomas Partey, were defeated 2-1 by Cape Verde. This result makes both Egypt and Ghana face the possibility of stopping early.

It is predicted that both Egypt and Ghana will progress past the group stage and advance to the knockout round. Arsenal will face Liverpool on February 4, roughly coinciding with the AFCON quarter-finals. The Gunners were hoping that Salah would miss this match because he was competing in the Africa Cup of Nations.

But if Egypt is eliminated in the group stage, Liverpool superstar Salah will be present in the match against Arsenal at the Emirates. Ghana's shock early exit will also be bad news for Arsenal, who will face West Ham on February 11.

That's because Ghana has West Ham star Mohammed Kudus in their squad, who has scored seven times in 16 Premier League matches this season. Ghana needs to reach the AFCON semi-finals for Kudus to miss the match against Arsenal.

Egypt and Ghana face each other in their second Group B match, Salah's side will then face Cape Verde in their final group match, while in the final match Ghana will face Mozambique on Saturday. January 22.
