• Cameroon to face Egypt in Sunday's final
• Ngadeu-Ngadjui and Bassogog on the scoresheet
• Ghana pay the price for missed chances

Ghana had to wait until five minutes before halftime to get their first proper chance as Teikeu's defensive slip allowed Jordan Ayew, who moved from Aston Villa to Swansea City at the start of the week, to strike just wide from an acute angle.

The second half saw Ghana dominate the game as Andre Ayew cut his eye in a collision with goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa and Mubarak Wakaso forced a diving save with his swirling free kick.

Thomas Partey and Jordan Ayew then went wide with shots before Ghana threw experienced captain Asamoah Gyan, injured last week, into the fray for a furious final quarter-hour.

But Cameroon, who won the last of their four Nations Cup titles 15 years ago, managed to hold on for a place in their first final since Egypt beat them in Accra in 2008.

Ghana will meet Burkina Faso in Saturday's third place playoff in Port Gentil.
