Yesterday we watched an amazing match. The reversal of the game by the Cameroon national team was something that fans will remember for a long time. I would like similar emotions today in the final match. I do not see a definite favorite, both teams represent a similar level. I am counting on an interesting game and a lot of goals, I bet over 2.5 goals

If Cameroon finished third, it owes it to Vincent Aboubakar. He brought a 3-3 draw with 2 beautiful goals scored in the last minutes and carried the match into overtime. Cameroon finished third on penalties. Although third place is not a very prestigious situation, I still thought that they did not want to give third place to Burkina Faso. I would like to mention Burkina Faso at one important point. I saw a low probability of Burkina Faso being one of the last 4 teams in this tournament, but they misled me. They played a very good game. Burkina Faso should be proud of their players and their team. Congratulations.

I'd want to extend my heartiest congratulations to the host country; it wasn't easy to come back from three goals down in less than 30 minutes; this is a well-deserved victory
Yes, it is well deserved, but it wasn't 30 minutes, the first goal from Cameroon was at 71st minute, the third goal was at 87th minutes, if you take the difference, that will be 16 minutes, in just 16 minutes, Cameroon equalised.At least Cameroon can prove they have a great mentality.
I'm happy the host Cameroon were still able to get a medal from this competition, they've played too well not to be rewarded. In other news, the Egyptian coach has demanded that the finals be moved to Monday to give Egypt more chance to rest and plan for the final game. He thinks that the fact that Senegal has had an extra day to rest will put them more at an advantage in the finals. Do you agree with the Egyptian coach on this?source

Cameroon gave a nice surprise to score 3 goals before defeating burkina faso with a penalty. I'm impressed with aboukars performance, he was brought to the game during the second half of the match and he was able to score 2 goals within 3 minutes. When burkina faso were leading with 3 goals I thought that was the end of the game.
Burkina Faso really messed up after leading by 3-0 they conceded easy goals, no thanks to their goalkeeper who flopped after he left his line thus miss his target while trying to punch off the ball, kudos to the cameroonians who never gave up and came back into the game with determination and zeal and a fighting spirit at the end were well rewarded with a third place, the lesson I learnt from this match is that never give up and endeavor to fight back until it is over, the cameroonians were already written off after conceding three goals however they eventually won the match.

At least Cameroon can prove they have a great mentality. If Cameroon was still in the final surely Aboubakar would be the best player this player is very talented even though he is old. Because in the final it will be Egypt vs Senegal , in my opinion the player with the most potential to get the best player title is Mane he's the most influential player there

Firstly I would say Cameroon spirit was cut short bec6 they taught they would be playing in the finals, Many teams don't actually take the 3rd place match seriously anymore, so Cameroon didn't have the inspiration, I honestly feel they should be there instead of Egypt, the apply more pressure but Egypt was able to counter everyone of them, regardless they dropped and had to settle for a 3rd place game with Burkina Faso who are delighted to even have a chance to reach the semi finals, so am not surprised they are winning Cameroon.
Your personal feeling for Cameroon to be in the final instead of Egyptians that wool for it and got qualify can't in any way change anything since the game of football is not about personal feeling or who you like to be at the final. In summary, the Cameroonians are not feet to be at the final and that was why they lost to Senegal and they are even qualify to be in third position and that is why they lost again to Burkina Faso.

The odds issued by the bookie tonight are very tempting to bet on Cameroon, I think this game will be very loose and Burkina Faso will not play defensively like in previous matches and very profitable for Cameroon. and it is possible for Cameroon can make a lot of gool.
with such odds for Cameroon tonight I bet big for Cameroon to win.
Yea, indeed. I think so too, 1.85 seem like good odds for a win of Cameroon. Normally games for the 3rd rank are less serious and more open which should play in favor of Cameroon. I don't think that they want to leave their home tournament with a loss. Cameroon is clearly the stronger team, I'd guess a 2-1 or 3-1 for the game tonight.with such odds for Cameroon tonight I bet big for Cameroon to win.
I wouldn't say that the teams at the African Cup take the game for the third rank less serious. Once they are ok with losing the semi-finals, they'll be on fire again to win the very last game of their tournament especially for all the people of their respective home countries. But still I would also agree that Cameroon has a slight edge here.

The final game is going to be really exciting. Senegal and Egypt are going to perform their best to reach the championship at the end. Senegal are the favourite side here to win this game indeed but I still don't see it like guaranteed. We should never underestimate Egypt at this point. I believe that they completely deserved to play at this level of the tournament. They are a good team when it comes to resisting even more powerful teams. They might try the same tactic against Senegal too but I don't think that it will work this time. Senegal are my favourite to win.
Senegal vs Egypt as favorite final match on African Nation Cup final and glad to see who will lead between Liverpool player Salah and Mane, I favorite as Senegal will win because they have better player than Egypt and have left one day more take rest after playing early on semifinal than Egypt. Maybe have different prediction but I see Senegal looks have good performance than Egypt and make them pass to final. February 05, 2022, 07:16:49 PM
The whole game was a total mess for Cameroon as Burkina Faso played the whole game at ease and scored a triple all in a moment.
The whole pattern of formation that was improvised all in a bid to win the game was to no avail untill when Burkina Faso players were weak and would barely return to cover up thier lapses when the overlapped was when the Cameroon had the chance to equalise and that was unfailing.I was feeling very bad when Cameroon lost thier chances of winning over the topple; surprised as the goal keeper was still able to recover from the jaw injuries he got In the pitch...

It seems that now that they play without much pressure, they score all the goals that they did not score before, a tremendous rain of goals and a great recovery from Cameroon, so everything surely has a bittersweet taste for them.
Hopefully tomorrow will be the same, but as I said above, there is pressure and he defends himself with everything and does not play loose.

The way and manners in which Cameron scored 3 goals within 20 minutes still beat my imagination, but then in a game of football anything can happen, despite Cameron missing out in the finals they still made a good mark with today's match let's see how the finals will go if Egypt will win the African cup of a nation or otherwise.
Cameroon coach almost made a mistake applying the wrong strategy lucky he put the best players at the right time If it happens at the wrong time then cameroon must end
The final match is tomorrow have you checked the betting market? somehow Senegal is more favorite this is quite strange for me.

OMG what we saw today was really beyond expectation Cameroon managed to take 3rd place after winning 3-5 on penalties I feel ashamed to say goodbye to Cameroon
It was not beyond my expectation, it is common in matches but I couldn't believe it happened in AFCON third place paly-off, it was really an interesting match. I thought Cameroon has lost the match already but the match started to get different in the second half and ended draw while Cameroon won by penalty.I know you predict before the match has started right?, almost 90% of people here agree that Cameroon will win but not on penalties, then when Cameroon conceded 3-0 did you predict Cameroon could equalize? When I saw the match running 65 minutes then I thought there was no chance for Cameroon they're over but i was wrong a miracle happened.

Great come back from the host of the African Cup of Nations, it gladdens my heart to see them come this far, although I intially wanted them to go further than this.
I think this is one of the best come backs in the history of Africa football.
A big congratulations to the host of the African Cup of Nations, I think Vincent Aboubarkar will be the highest goal scorer of the tournament.
It's not over until it's over, this is a good example of it
Cameroon started the game miserably, received 3 goals, made substitutions very late, barely no one expected them to recover at the end of the game, 1,2 then scored the 3rd goal, what?, extra time, penalties... and Cameroon finished third in this Cup!I think this is one of the best come backs in the history of Africa football.

If only Cameroon played Aboubakar from the start maybe the result will be different.
We should not forget S. Bahoken that started it when it scored for Cameroon at 71st minutes but V. Aboubakar tried for Cameroon by scoring the second goal and equalised the match. I also thought as much that if V. Aboubakar started the match, the match would have really been different. If only Cameroon played Aboubakar from the start maybe the result will be different.

Drama unfolding! Cameroon have drawn level, goodness me! It's 3-3 and there still 4 minutes added on, but honestly that way too small given the amount of interruption that have happened during game.
Can Cameroon complete this turnaround to claim 3rd prize, that'd be amazing, but as it stands they're the favorites to win it.
