Under-20 Nations Cup final:
Egypt 4-3 Ivory Coast (after extra time)

Ibrahim Emad was Egypt's hero as the young Pharaohs claimed the Under-20 Nations Cup for the third time with a 4-3 win over Ivory Coast.

The striker, who has been one of the stars of the tournament so far, scored the winner in extra time after the two sides had been deadlocked throughout the second half.

Winners

1979 - Algeria 1981 - Egypt 1983 - Nigeria 1985 - Nigeria 1987 - Nigeria 1989 - Nigeria 1991 - Egypt 1993 - Ghana 1995 - Cameroon 1997 - Morocco 1999 - Ghana 2001 - Angola 2003 - Egypt

That was after a first half of frenetic activity as neither side was able to move ahead for very long.

Emad opened the scoring for Egypt after just two minutes, but Ivory Coast equalised through a Christian Romaric free kick just six minutes later.

Yaya Toure then put the young Elephants in front on 22 minutes - only to see that effort cancelled out from the penalty spot on the half hour mark by Hamed Fatih.

Four minutes later Egypt went in front again, with Habdel this time easily tapping home.

But as before Ivory Coast equalised quickly, with Michel Saki pouncing on the stroke of half time.

The second half then settled into stalemate in front of an intimidating crowd of Burkinabes, until Emad was able to wrap up the goalfest that he had started in the first half of extra time.
