Title: Goal scarcity befalls Afcon finals
Post by: Folami David on Feb 09, 2013, 12:05 PM
Goals have been a scarce commodity at recent Africa Cup of Nations finals with only five in the past six title deciders.
.
And three of those came in Tunisia nine years ago when the hosts edged Morocco 2-1 in the only finale to feature two teams from the north of the continent.
.
Penalty shoot-outs were needed to give Cameroon victory over Senegal in 2002, Egypt success over Ivory Coast in 2006 and Zambia glory against Ivory Coast last year.
.
The 2008 and 2010 title matches were settled in favour of Egypt by solitary goals with Mohamed Abou Trika scoring against Cameroon in Accra and Mohamed 'Geddo' Nagy against Ghana in Luanda.
