Accra: Egypt won the African Nations Cup for a record six titles retaining the trophy by beating Cameroon 1-0 in the final on Sunday.
The Pharaohs, who had handed Cameroon their only previous defeat in a Nations Cup final in 1986 and beat them 4-2 in the group stage, prevailed again when Mohammad Aboutrika netted with 13 minutes remaining at the Ohene Djan stadium.
Striker Aboutrika connected with a Mohammad Zidan cross after the midfielder benefited from a Rigobert Song blunder in defence.
The centre back, playing in his third Nations Cup final, almost equalised in injury time for four-times winners Cameroon but his header went just above the crossbar.
