Could or was able...

I found this in a grammar book
Nobody could come yesterday.
(could=was able to)
Normally one doesn't use could for single events in the past when a sentence is positive, in this case, is could there because of the 'nobody' and it would give a negative meaning?

PS: could=was able is in the book.
