Egypt's 44-Year-Old Goalie Has Them In The AFCON Final

Egypt and Burkina Faso met Wednesday with a trip to the Africa Cup of Nations on the line, and the match was ultimately decided by Egypt's 44-year-old goalkeeper, Essam El-Hadary.

El-Hadary made several fine saves in open play (which ended 1-1) before saving Burkina Faso's final two penalties to win the shootout.

Age ain't nothin' but a number.

Egypt will face the winner of Cameroon vs. Ghana in the AFCON final Sunday, February 5.
