AFCON 2017: The Indomitable Lions Of Cameroon Cruise Into the AFCON 2017 Finals



Cameroon will face Egypt in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations final after two second-half strikes saw off Ghana.
The Cameroon side dominated the first half of the game with Christian Bassogog causing so much trouble for the Ghanaian shot stopper who was up to the task.

Both sides had gone close to breaking the deadlock before Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui took advantage of atrocious defending from a free-kick to lash in the opener in the 72nd minute.

With seconds remaining Christian Bassogog sealed victory when he applied a deft finish to a counter-attack.

Ghana went close through Wakaso Mubarak and Christian Atsu. Christian Atsu had a beautiful game unfortunately he was on the losing side.

Panathinaikos midfielder Wakaso tested keeper Fabrice Ondoa will a brilliant bending free-kick, and Newcastle's flying winger Atsu saw his angled strike drift past Cameroon's upright by inches.



Apart from those two chances, the Black Stars - who last won the competition in 1982 also a total 0f 6 appearances in the AFCON semi-finals - underwhelmed against a side who were clear second favourites going into the match.

As for coach Hugo Broos' Indomitable Lions, they are into their first final since they lost to Egypt in 2008 and it doesn’t matter if they were the 2nd favorites.
