Salah vs. Mane in the Afcon Final after Egypt wins: 

Sunday's final stages up a compelling meeting between Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane at the same venue - the Olembe Stadium in Cameroon's capital Yaounde (kick-off 19:00 GMT).

Hosts Cameroon had led more momentum in 90 minutes, twice striking the post through Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui's looping header and Samuel Gouet's booming long-range strike, which flicked the woodwork.

Egypt's star man Salah was held quiet for significantly of the match, curling a strike from outside the room slightly over and nearly benefiting from an open back pass, but he could not convert.

But he did not have to step up in the shootout as Cameroon missed three of their chances, with Gabaski protecting from Harold Moukoudi and James Lea Sidiki, while Clinton N'Jie side-footed broad.

An ill-tempered finish to average time had caught Egypt manager Carlos Queiroz sent off for remonstrating with the referee and his associate Wael Gomaa warned too.

It indicates they will both be missing from the touchline for the last as Gomaa was also yellow carded in the quarter-final against Morocco.

Meanwhile, Cameroon will meet Burkina Faso in the third/fourth-place play-off, carried to Saturday (19:00 GMT).

Egypt earns vengeance over Cameroon.

This was a meeting between the two most victorious squads in the competition's history, with record seven-time champions Egypt up against Cameroon.

The hosts had won on five events, with the previous of those coming in 2017 when they beat Thursday's rivals 2-1 in the final, but Egypt earned vengeance on this event.
