With the home crowd cheering the Lions on, Cameroon have enjoyed a sensational Africa Cup of Nations campaign and will feel confident in their chances of reaching a second final in five years.

While Cameroon will look to continue their charge for the continental crown, next up is an opposing side who they have claimed just one win against in the last eight meetings between the sides, losing five and picking up two draws in that time.

However, that one victory came in the 2017 AFCON final held in Gabon when Nicolas N'Koulou and Aboubakar scored second-half goals to cancel out Mohamed Elneny's 22nd-minute opener and turn the game on its head.

On the other hand, while this might not be Egypt's best performance in the history of the tournament, they will be delighted to have made it this far all the same after several unconvincing performances.

Senegal awaits the winner of this tie for the final game on Sunday, February 6, 2022.
