Egypt avenged their defeat by Cameroon in the 2017 final, knocking out the hosts on penalties to set up a Sunday showdown with Senegal.

The host were the better side in the first half, Aboubakar hitting the junction of bar and post, both side left the pitch with out finding the back of the net.

Egypt had the biggest chance of the second half, Salah passing up an opportunity to round Onana and score, but his effort got wasted which sees off the game to the extra-time.

The pharoah’s of Egypt win the penalty shootout 3-1, ending Cameroon’s fairytale in the AFCON 2021.

Substitute goalkeeper Gabaski made two crucial saves in the penalty shootout to help Egypt knock out the hosts.

With the victory,Egypt make it to the Africa Cup of Nations final for the 10th time more than any African country.
