After regular time the score was 0-0 and no goals were scored in extra time. The first Cameroonian penalty kick went in via Vincent Aboubakar, but then no less than three fellow players failed in a row. Harold Moukoudi and James Lea Siliki encountered Egyptian goalkeeper Gabaski, while Clinton N’Jie shot wide. Onana, in turn, went into the wrong corner on all Egyptian penalties.
Egypt will face Senegal in the final on Sunday, which defeated Burkina Faso 3-1 on Wednesday. That means a clash between Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah (Egypt) and Sadio Mane (Senegal).
