The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon have qualified for the final of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon. They picked their qualification ticket yesterday February 2, 2017 after beating the Black stars of Ghana 2-0 in the second semi-final game at the Renovation Stadium in Franceville, Gabon. The victory came as a sigh of relief for Cameroonian fans who had longed to see their team reach the final after failing to reach the final since 2002. A good day for the Lions who have been unbeatable since the start of the competition and who have their eyes geared to trophy.
The encounter began at 8:00 p.m. with both sides determined to win. Cameroon completely dominated the first half but failed to materialise the many scoring chances they had. The Lions put up a good game in the midfield and upfront but they did not have good shots at goal. Ndip Tambe and Benjamin Moukandjo made some attempts but were prevented by the Ghanaian defence from scoring. The Ghanaians had a chance in the Cameroon goal area as from 26th minute and made several other attempts which yielded no results. At the 39th minute, Jordan Ayew had a scoring chance but squandered it. At half time the score line was 0-0.
On resumption, the Lions continued to dominate. The Ghanaians put up a strong resistance causing Coach Hugo Broos to be on his feet to check his players.

The Ghanaians attempted several scoring chances but most went off target. At the 92nd minute Christian Bassogog had an opportunity and increased tally for Cameroon. At stoppage time the score board read 2-0 in favour of Cameroon.
