Pharaohs knockdown Cameroon (3-1)… sets for AFCON final with Senegal
Goalkeeper Mohamed Abou ‘Gabaski’ Gabal pulled off two spectacular saves as Egypt edged hosts Cameroon 3-1, the penalty shootouts were necessitated after a goalless 120 minutes match. Egypt is set for the final of the Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday, Feb 6th, 2022, at the Paul Biya Stadium, Olembe
Cameroon converted only one of their four spot-kicks, with Gabaski blocking two of the strikes before Clinton Njie missed his attempt. Egypt converted all three of their kicks.
Egypt will be aiming to win a record-extending eighth Cup of Nations title when they face Senegal in Sunday’s final.
But they will be without coach Carlos Queiroz, who is suspended for the final after being sent off in Thursday’s second half for persistent touchline petulance.
