LIBREVILLE (Reuters) - Vincent Aboubakar scored a brilliant late goal to hand unfancied Cameroon a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Egypt and their fifth African Nations Cup title in an entertaining final on Sunday. Nicolas Nkoulou equalised on the hour and, as Egypt tired, Cameroon appeared to find a new gear, creating several chances before Aboubakar struck the winner in the 88th minute after chesting the ball down and flicking it over defender Ali Gabr. Egypt dominated the early possession and had the lead after 22 minutes as Cameroon’s defence stood far too static. Cameroon then attacked in waves as Egypt appeared to be holding out for extra-time and penalties. Having lost five finals in club football, including Europe's elite Champions League twice, he is an unlucky loser again at international level.
