The Indomitable Lions are back to reclaim their power in African football.
This is after Cameroon’s national team beat Avram Grant’s Ghanaian side 2-0 to reach the 2017 African Cup of Nations.
Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui and Christian Bassogog’s second half strikes ended Ghana’s hope for success after 35 years.
‘I am more than unhappy. We wanted so much to be in the final. We did everything to be there and in the second half we completely dominated. Congratulations to Cameroon of course but we were the better side and we lost,’ Ghanaian team coach said during his post match conference.
As a result, the Black Stars battle for third place with Burkina Faso on Saturday, February 4 in Port Gentil.
Cameroon will be facing Egypt in the finals, which takes place on Sunday, February 5 at Stade de l’Amitié, Libreville.
‘It is a real dream for us to get to the final, I am very happy, especially for the team. They are an exemplary group on and off the field and they deserve to be in the final,’ the Indomitable Lions’ coach, Hugo Broos said
It’s their first final for Cameroon since AFCON 2008 when they lost 1-0 to Egypt in Ghana.
The four-time champions last won the completion in 2002 when Nigeria ended third.
