EGYPT U-20 WIN THE AFRICAN TITLE | 2013
Egypt’s U-20 on top of Africa, defeating heavyweights Ghana 5-4 in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw to win the African Championship for the fourth time on Saturday.
Midfielder Hossam Ghaly converted the decisive spot kick in the sudden death after Ghana’s Michael Anaba rattled the crossbar as Egypt clinched the title with a 100 percent record, having won all their games. The young Pharaohs also won the title in 1981, 1991 and 2003.
The top four in the African Championship – Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria and Mali – will represent the continent at the U-20 World Cup, which will take place in Turkey in the summer. Egypt will play in Group E along with England, Chile and Iraq.
