Vincent Aboubakar came off the bench and gave the hosts the much-needed boost to equalise from 3 goals down and eventually win on penalties in the AFCON third place match.

Cameroonian fans would appreciate the Bronze title, especially with the way the team achieved it through hard work, came back from three goals down.

Burkina Faso were 2 goals up at the break with Yago scoring in the 24 minutes of the game and Onana dashing them an own-goal.

Ouattara then scored 4 minutes into second half to give Burkina Faso a 3-0 lead before Bahoken got one back for Cameroon.

Abubakar then scored a brace to send the game to extra time and penalties.
