The Indomitable Lions are the kings of Africa once again. Cameroon came from behind to beat Egypt on Sunday in the Africa Cup of Nations final 2-1 to claim the crown for the fifth time and first since 2002.
After Mohamed Elneny opened the scoring for Egypt in the 22nd minute, Nicolas N'Koulou drew level for Cameroon in the 59th minute.
With the match open and entertaining, it looked like it was headed for extra time, but Vincent Aboubakar produced a bit of magic his entire national team will not soon forget to capture the crown.
In the 88th minute, he received the ball in the box, settled it well, lifted it over an oncoming defender and finished what would prove to be the winner. Take a look.
