It seems to me like Cameroon did not prepare for the penalties. When I was with Ivory Coast, after each session we have a training shoot-out. It did not look like they had done that. As soon as they missed one, there was pressure and more pressure. And you see with N'Jie, I don't know what was going through his head.

Whenever you see a team in a huddle ahead of a shoot-out, you never see someone who is really angry because they have not been selected to take a penalty. It is because it is a very tough situation. People who want to take one it doesn't mean they are ready for the moment.

Stuart Mitchell: Some of the worst penalties I've seen in a while from Cameroon. Even the one they scored would easily have been saved if keeper went right way.

The two players that missed their penalties, they are young lads. It is a lack of experience in these type of games. Maybe some of the more experienced players should have stepped up.

Egypt deserve their win. They have been playing really well defensively. I don't know if Vincent Aboubakar had one shot on target. They frustrated Cameroon.

Queiroz back to celebrate

The Egypt coach Carlos Queiroz is back to celebrate with his players.

Some of the Cameroon players go to thank the few fans left in the stadium but they seemed to get booed for their efforts.

As soon as the second Cameroon penalty was saved the stadium started emptying rapidly.

Conversely the Egypt fans are hailing their team.

If Senegal play their style and Egypt have to rise to that, I think Senegal could win it easily. But if Egypt can make Senegal play as they did with Cameroon here, where they didn't do that much after being top scorers in the tournament. Egypt will try to make it tight. I would like Senegal to score first as that will make for a better game.

It wasn't a good semi-final. And Egypt are not a very fun watch. But they nailed that shoot-out.

Joy for Egypt. They mob keeper Mohamed Abougabal, their hero. Cameroon players on the turf. There'll be tears.

Oh, and here comes Carlos Queiroz to enjoy the fun. He'll be absent from the touchline in the final after his red card. He can revel in this, though.

EGYPT ARE INTO THE AFCON FINAL!

Mohamed Salah not even required in the shoot-out.

MISSED PENALTY - Cameroon 1-3 Egypt

The ex-Spurs man misses it! The keeper goes the wrong way but it's the wrong side of the post.

GOAL - Cameroon 1-3 Egypt

Egypt send the keeper the wrong way again.

SAVED - Cameroon 1-2 Egypt

Gabaski saves again! This penalty was better, he had to get down to his left to keep it out.

GOAL - Cameroon 1-2 Egypt

Nice. Keeper goes the wrong way.

SAVED - Cameroon 1-1 Egypt

Another late sub... Saved by Gabaski. It was too central.

GOAL - Cameroon 1-1 Egypt

The late sub. This might be his first touch. A Jorginho run-up and finish into the bottom corner.

GOAL - Cameroon 1-0 Egypt

The Afcon top scorer slots home.

OK. Here we go. Cameroon up first...

Cameroon coach Antonio Conceicao has done his work. Egypt boss Carlos Queiroz is having to sweat this out in the changing room.
