Cameroon
was won the African Cup of Nations for the 5th time in history after
seeing off favourite, Egypt in a heated encounter.
Cameroonians celebrating the victory
Cameroon came from behind to beat Egypt 2-1 and seal a fifth Africa
Cup of Nations in a thrilling, edgy final. Substitute Vincent Aboubakar
swept in the winner two minutes from time, flicking the ball over
defender Ali Gabr and thumping it home.
It has been an exciting and entertaining games after games and it
has come to an end today as Pharaohs of Egypt take on Indomitable Lions
of Cameroon in the AFCON Finals.
To most Nigerians, African Cup of Nation doesn't exist as Super Eagles of Nigeria failed to make it to the AFCON tournament.
Egypt led Cameroon with a lone goal in the first half, thanks to a
tight angled shot by Mohamed Elneny but Cameroon over turned it in the
second half to beat
Egypt 2-1, thanks to Nicolas N'Koulou's goal in the 59th minutes and the dying minute goal by Vincent Aboubakar.
