Egypt Wins Africa Cup of Nations 1-0

The Eqyptian side, who were the defending champion, were always the better skilled, but the Cameroon team put on a spirited display. It was no walk-through by Egypt, and there were a few times when Cameroon might just have scored.

It looked as though the final would have to end with penalty shoot-outs. But at the eleventh hour Zidan of Egypt managed a pass to Abou Trika who shot to win the only goal in the match.

It wasn't the most memorable game. Perhaps too much nerves on both sides.

The celebrations and ceremony afterwards were very colourful and entertaining.

With this victory, Egypt has set a record to have won the trophy for the sixth time.
