Egypt beat Cameroon to setup final against Senegal.

 Egypt have reached the final of the Africa cup of Nations after defeating Cameroon on penalties.

The pharaohs produced a brilliant defensive performance throughout 120 minutes and  Goalkeeper Mohamed Abou Gabal - the backup stopper at the start of the tournament behind Mohamed El Shenawy - was the hero for the Pharaohs as he saved two penalties during the shootout.

Overall, the game between Cameroon and Egypt lacked quality.

The two main threats going into the game massively underperformed in front of goal. Walsh managed only two shots off target, while Cameroon striker Vincent Aboubakar - the current top scorer in the competition with six strikes - was disappointing in front of goal.

Egypt manager Carlos Queiroz injected some life into what had been a tough game to watch when he was sent off for losing his composure over the referee's decisions.

The former Manchester United assistant won't be on the touchline for Sunday's final.

Egypt were the underdogs against Cameroon and will be again when they take on Senegal. The Lions of Teranga have been brilliant defensively, conceding just two goals, with defensive stars Kalidou Koulibaly, Abdou Diallo and Edouard Mendy all impressing.

This would be Egypt's second AFCON final in three tournaments, and one of the big talking points going into the final would be the

mouthwatering clash between two of Africa’s best Forwards;Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, whose Senegal side made it to the final after beating Burkina Faso on Wednesday.

The final will take place on Sunday at the Olembe Stadium in Yaounde, Cameroon.
