FULL-TIME: Egypt 1-2 Cameroon
Cameroon are the champions! What a deserved win as they started somewhat sluggish and conceded an early goal but threw everything at Egypt after the interval. The two substitutes scored the goals for the new champions!
Cameroon are the 2017 Africa Cup Of Nations Champions! Congratulations Indomitable Lions ! #AFCON2017

GOAL: Egypt 1-2 Cameroon (Aboubakar, 88 mins)
What a fantastic goal as Aboubakar controlled a long ball with his chest among two Egypt defenders on the egde of the box and lashed it into the far corner
Big chance for Cameroon
Moukandjo receives a nice pass from Bassogog but he cannot control as he would like and his effort flies over the bar.
Cameroon miss a chance
Zoua makes a great run through the middle but he fires a lifeless shot that goes wide
Substitution for Egypt
Trezeguet is replaced by Sobhi
GOAL: Egypt 1-1 Cameroon (N'Koulou, 59 mins)
He came on as a substitute and he might finish the night as Cameroon's hero, as N'Koulou rises above Egypt's defence and heads in a cross from the left flank.

Cameroon put pressure on Egypt
It is all Cameroon in the opening 10 minutes of the second half but their crosses do not result in chances, as Egypt always clear before it gets dangerous
Change for Cameroon
Vincent Aboubakar came on during the break to replace Robert Ndip Tambe
Second half under way
Cameroon re-start the match
HALF-TIME: Egypt 1-0 Cameroon
Egypt have defended very solidly after scoring the goal and Cameroon will need to find some attacking punch after the break if they are to turn this around.

Cameroon do not capitalise on mistake
Egypt goalkeeper El Hadary makes a mess of his exit and the ball drops on Bassagog, but his viewing is obstructed and he fires it over the bar
Forced substitution for Cameroon
The unlucky Teikeu has picked up an injury and is replaced by N'Koulou
GOAL: Egypt 1-0 Cameroon (Elneny, 22 mins)
Salah plays in Elneny, he turns and fires into the roof of the net at the near post before even Ondoa raises his hands.
