Group C final matches between Cameroon and Sudan in Tamale produced a perfect moment of record making as Samuel Eto'o Fils scored his 15th Nations Cup goal to become the all-time highest goal scorer in the competition.
It was a penalty, his third of the type in this competition but his fourth overall in Ghana 2008.He has now beaten the 14 goal record of Cote d'Ivoire's Laurent Pokou set almost 40 years ago. He equalled the record last Saturday scoring a penalty against Zambia. Apart from the individual record, Cameroon secured a 3-0 win over the Sudanese to qualify for the next stage, coming second in group C with six points. Sudan's Mohammed Alli scored an own goal for the Lions' second of the night.
At the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, Egypt went into their 81st Nations Cup game as favourites to get a result and go into the next stage but they were almost caught napping when Zambia equalized in the closing stage.
Pharaohs' coach Hassan Sheata made changes to his squad that beat Sudan 3-0 with inspirational Mahmoud Fathalla Abdou Ibrahim not eligible. Shady Mohammed Abdel Fattah Ragab replaced him while Hamburg star striker Mohamed Zidan dropped to the bench, possibly in an effort to refresh him ahead of the quarter final. Ahmed Hasan Kamel took his place.
Zambia coach Patrick Phiri made only one change from the team that lost 3-0 to Cameroon, dropping Nketani Kennedy for Hichani Hmonde.
Despite resting key players, the Pharaohs' looked much more comfortable to pass the ball around and frustrate the Chipolopolo side that has been battling unpaid bonuses in camp.
The Zambians needed a win by high margin but as soon as the 15th minute, they went behind when Zaky Mansouri scored for the Egyptians.As the Egyptian regrouped again, temper flayed in the Zambian half with Felix getting yellow card in the 40th minute and Isaac Chansa getting another, a minute later. The fans were, however, not happy with referee Coulibaly Koman for his actions. And after Zaky lost the chance to extend his goal haul on the night and make it two for Egypt, Koman stopped proceedings.
Egypt brought in Mohammed Zidan for Zaky Mansour and Mohammed Abouterika for Ahmed Hassan to boost the attack but both were not getting the space to operate as Egypt hanged unto their lead.
Thus, Egypt and Cameroon join Ghana, Guinea, Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria in the quarter final. Group D winners will be decided today in Tamale and Kumasi.
