Vincent Aboubakar came off the bench
to score a stunning winner with two minutes left as Cameroon fought back to
beat Egypt 2-1 in a thrilling Africa Cup of Nations final in Libreville, Gabon,
yesterday.
Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny
had given Egypt the lead midway through the first half and Egypt looked to be
on course to win an unrivalled eighth Cup of Nations crown in their first
appearance at the tournament since 2010.
Nicolas Nkoulou, who had come off
the bench in the first half, headed in the equaliser just before the hour mark
and fellow substitute Aboubakar slammed in the winner in the 88th minute.
It is a fifth Cup of Nations crown
for the Indomitable Lions, a first since 2002, and the first time they have
beaten Egypt in the final in three attempts.
