Mighty Pharaohs Tame The Lions
Egypt's Ahmed Hassan
Six-time winners Egypt will meet north African rivals Algeria in the African Cup of Nations semi-finals after they needed extra time before overcoming Cameroon 3-1 in Benguela on Monday night.
The game was a lot tighter than the score-line suggested, with Egypt having to come from behind to force extra time before two quick fire goals sealed the win.
The Indomitable Lions gave as good as they got in this contest, and for the most part were the more adventurous and attacking side, but in the end the Pharaoh's greater tactical awareness, discipline and big-game experience carried them through.
The west African side can however only have themselves to blame as all three goals conceded involved under-par defending.
