Pharaohs’ delight as Ivory Coast pay penalty

Egypt 0 Ivory Coast 0 (Egypt win 4-2 on penalties)

After a disappointing 120 minutes finished goalless, Mohamed Aboutrika was given the chance to earn the Egyptians their first title since 1998 after Didier Drogba and Bakary Kone had seen their spot-kicks saved by goalkeeper Essam Al Hadari.

And the midfielder did not fluff his opportunity as he sent Jean-Jacques Tizie the wrong way to spark wild scenes of jubilation in Cairo International Stadium.
