Cameroon Crowned African Champions

Mohamed El Neny returned in time for the final and in style as he opened the scoring in the 22nd minute in Libreville. After a neat exchange between Mohamed Salah on the edge of Cameroon’s penalty area, El Neny rifled in his shot at an acute angle, deceiving Cameroon’s 21-year-old goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa, who would have thought El Neny had a cross in mind.  N'Koulou's header gave the Indomitable Lions the belief they needed to bring the country its first continental trophy since 2002. In the 88th minute, substitute striker Aboubakar struck home the winner with an incredible piece of individual skill. The Besiktas forward brought down a long ball from Sebastien Siani with his chest and flicked the ball over Egyptian defender Ali Gabr before unleashing a pin-point finish past El Hadary.  Aboubakar's winning goal for the Indomitable Lions will go down as one of the finest in Africa Cup of Nations Final's history.
