INDOMITABLE LIONS UPEND PHARAOHS, CAPTURE FIFTH AFRICAN NATIONS CUP CROWN

At Libreville, Gabon:

Goals in the second half from Nicolas N'Koulou (59') and Vincent Aboubakar (88') on Sunday enabled Cameroon to come from behind to upend Egypt 2-1 and win their fifth African Nations Cup championship, their first since 2002.

Mohamed Elneny scored for the seven-time champion Pharaohs in the 22nd minute.

With the victory, the Indomitable Lions will represent the African continent in this year's FIFA Confederations Cup, to be played in Russia.
