Perfect start for Egypt

Reigning champions Egypt got their African Nations Cup campaign off to the perfect start with a 4-2 hammering of much-fancied Cameroon in Group C.

Cameroon got off to a disastrous start in Kumasi when Reading defender Andre Bikey handled a cross, allowing Hosni Abd Rabou to stroke home at the second attempt in the 14th minute. The Egyptian’s first spot-kick was ruled out due to his stuttering run up.
