Vincent Aboubakar scores stunning late winner, helping Cameroon to claim fifth African Cup of Nations football triumph.
Cameroon produced a stunning comeback to beat Egypt in the final of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON), held in Gabon’s capital Libreville on Sunday.
Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny, who returned to Egypt’s starting line-up after an injury, found the net from inside the box after 22 minutes to give his country the lead.
But in the 59th minute Nikolas N’Koulou equalised and put the Indomitable Lions back in the game.
And in the 88th minute, Vincent Aboubakar completed Cameroon’s comeback with a stunning goal that helped Cameroon claim its fifth AFCON title.
