Egypt remained the dominant force in Africa with an unprecedented third consecutive African Cup of Nations triumph after prevailing against the traditional heavyweights in the continent. FilGoal.com highlights the best and defining moments of Egypt's glorious campaign in Angola. Best Player: Age does not really matter for evergreen midfielder Ahmed Hassan, who put in a string of impressive displays to play a pivotal role in Egypt's CAN victory. The 34-year-old, the team's skipper, scored three goals and dished out two assists in the tournament. He also accomplished his defensive duties in midfield in superb fashion. He opened his account in the Pharaohs' 3-1 victory over Nigeria in their group-stage opener before scoring twice in the quarter-final win over Cameroon. Hassan also set an Egyptian and African record after making his 170th international appearance against Cameroon to surpass Hossam Hassan's previous record of 169 international caps. Hassan scores twice against Cameroon Best Substitute: Mohamed Nagi 'Geddo' made history after becoming the Nations Cup top scorer although he did not start any game. The Ittihad forward was a fringe player until he was called up to Egypt's squad by coach Hassan Shehata, a choice that was criticized by many pundits. Geddo proved all doubters wrong by making a stunning impact in the tournament to grab headlines and attract several European suitors. He came off the bench to score five goals and outshine Africa's top strikers like Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto'o. He notched Egypt's most decisive goal when he neatly exchanged passes with Mohamed Zidan before curling a delightful shot past Ghana keeper Richard Kingson in the 1-0 final victory. Geddo's goal against Ghana Best Goal: Mohamed Zidan contributed to Egypt's 4-0 drubbing of Algeria in the semi final with a brilliant strike. The Borussia Dortmund striker doubled the team's advantage in the second half when he rounded Nadir Belhadj on the edge of the area and unleashed a powerful left-footed drive into the top corner of the net. Zidan's goal against Algeria Best Display: Egypt impressed in the majority of their games but their astounding display came against North African rivals Algeria in the semi final. The silky football of the seven-time African champions helped them outplay and outclass Algeria in a night to remember. A first-half penalty from Hosni Abd-Rabou in addition to goals from Mohamed Zidan, Mohamed Abdul-Shafi and Geddo gave Egypt a remarkable 4-0 win. Egypt crush Algeria 4-0
