Cameroon rallied from 1-0 down with two goals in the last half-hour, including a brilliant winner with a minute left, to beat Egypt 2-1 in the African Cup of Nations final on Sunday. Substitute Vincent Aboubakar controlled the ball in the 89th minute, clipped it over a defender, and then shot past Egypt's goalkeeper to clinch Cameroon's fifth African title with a sublime finish. The striker delivered Cameroon's first African Cup crown since 2002 and denied Egypt, which led early in the first half in Libreville, an eighth title.
