Black Stars forward Asamoah Gyan believes they escaped defeat in their draw with Benin in the group opener of the tournament.
The four-time champions were held to a 2-2 draw by the Squirrels of Benin at the Ismailia Stadium on Tuesday evening — Ghana's defender John Boye received a red card on the 55th minute after he was caught delaying.
Asamoah Gyan, who is the all-time top-scorer of the team, says Black Stars escaped from a defeat, insisting they could have lost the match after John Boye's red card in the early minute of the second-half.
"The point is very important. We escaped a defeat because we were one man down," Asamoah Gyan told reporters.
"We've to go back to the drawing board and see where we had a mistake so we can come back against Cameroon," he ended.
Ghana will meet the defending champions, Cameroon, on Saturday, June 29 at exactly 17:00 GMT.

President Akufo Addo is putting too much pressure on the black stars. He should leave them to concentrate. What does he want in Egypt? after hosting them in Jubilee House. He want the cup to do propaganda with it for political advantage.
