Egypt are currently 24 games unbeaten in Africa Cup of Nations matches, their last defeat to Tunisia in 2004.
34'
El Hadary makes a bit of a mess of his punch but Bassogog can’t take advantage, shooting well over the bar.

N'Koulou comes on for Teikeu.

Teikeu looks in trouble and doesn’t look like he’s going to be able to continue, unfortunately.

Lovely ball from Elneny to Salah but it’s a lovely tackle from Oyongo to prevent the cross coming in.
28'
Warda and Teikeu go up for the ball and the latter comes down awkwardly. He receives treatment and seems okay to continue.
27'
Seen very little of Cameroon in that final third and that will have to change quickly. A second goal for Egypt could spell disaster.
26'
Egypt now exactly where they want to be as they have such a mean defence. That was Elneny’s fourth international goal.

24'
There hasn’t been more than one goal in the final since 2004. It has generally been enough!
23'
The cut back was on for Elneny and Ondoa could have been deceived by that. Just couldn’t get his hands up quickly enough.
22'
GOAL EGYPT! Salah plays in Elneny and the Arsenal man rifles it into the roof of the net from a narrow angle. Great finish!

Djoum, a regular in the Hearts midfield this season. Egypt have three players from England's Premier League - defender Ahmed Elmohamady (Hull) and midfielders Mohamed Elneny (Arsenal) and Ramadan Sobhi (Stoke), as well as former Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah.
19'
Cameroon with a lot of the ball in front of that Egypt defensive line. But so tough to break down, as usual.
18'
Hamed goes over the top of the ball and catches Moukandjo above the ankle. Just as well he got the ball otherwise that was a card.
17'
Cameroon seeing a lot more of the ball after that fast start from Egypt. Just edging possession with 51%.
16'
Djoum with a dangerous cross into the box but headed away by the ever dependable Hegazy.
15'
Djoum held by Hamed and it’s a free kick to Cameroon but deep in their own half. Cagey stuff.
