Egypt’s Africa Cup of Nations hat-trick

In January 2010, Egypt beat Ghana 1-0 in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations to complete an unprecedented treble, having won in 2006 and 2008.

It was also the seventh time they won the cup, a feat unmatched by any of their rivals in the African Confederation.
