Aboubakar played in Christian Bassagog, who carried the ball forward into Ghana's 30-yard area and flipped the ball past Razak to extend Cameroon's lead in the injury time to send the Indomitable Lions into the final.

For the third time, Cameroon and Egypt will face off in an African Cup of Nations final after The Indomitable Lions downed Ghana 2-0 in Franceville in Gabon on Thursday evening.

Cameroon, a side dismissed by most pundits prior to the tournament, await.

There is a history of disputes between the players and the Cameroon Football Federation over money.

The players have now seemingly demanded a new bonus structure for reaching the semi-finals, as well as potentially consteting the final and winning the trophy.

Speaking in an interview, Atsu said, though they were yet to analyze their opponents, he was confident there will be several weaknesses in their team.

"The team is motivated and what we want is a win against Cameroon, who have been playing as a unit", he said, as quoted by SuperSport. They showed that against Guinea Bissau and also, against Senegal. The last edition of the tournament saw Ghana defeated by the Ivory coast team in the penalty shootouts. I read in the papers that the players did not train but I had given them a free day so it is not because they are not happy with the money. "We don't come here for money but the other side is that when they give you money you have to feel respect and this is not the case now". "It is a group, not one player or two players".

And then, the momentum switched.
