Pharaohs crowned champions
ACCRA - Defending champions Egypt wrote another chapter in African football history yesterday by setting another record in the African Nations Cup by winning a record sixth Africa Cup of Nations with a hard fought 1-0 victory over Cameroon yesterday. The lone goal came in the 77th minute when a mistake by Cameroon’s captain Rigobert Song gifted substitute Mohamed Zidan a chance to pass the ball to Mohamed Aboutrika who didn’t return the favour in beating Cameroon goalkeeper Carlos Kameni.
