South Africa was drawn to play Ethiopia in the semi-finals, but were disqualified due to apartheid.[1] Ethiopia therefore had a bye to the final, whilst in the other semi-final at Municipal Stadium in Khartoum, the Egyptians beat the host nation 2–1.[2]
In the final, Egypt beat Ethiopia 4–0, with all four goals scored by El-Diba, who finished the tournament as top scorer with five goals. Only two games were played in this first edition.[1]
Ad-Diba – four of the five goals were scored in Egypt's 4–0 defeat of Ethiopia in the final. [3][4]
1 goal
Raafat Attia – first ever goal scorer in Africa Cup of Nations.[4]
Boraî Bashir — "some sources report the Sudan goal-scorer as Seddiq Mohammed Manzul, but contemporary reports mention that "Seddiq passed the ball to Boraî who scored."[5][6]
