amounted to finals before the final and now we face another one against Cameroon,&#8221; said Mozambique-born Egypt coach Carlos Queiroz.<\/p>\n<p>While Liverpool star Salah and his Pharaoh teammates have been battling fellow top-10 ranked teams in the knockout stages of the marquee African tournament, Cameroon had a gentler passage.<\/p>\n<p>They defeated the Comoros, who had to use an outfield player between the posts after Covid-19 and injury sidelined their three goalkeepers, then Gambia, the lowest ranked of the 24 teams at the finals.<\/p>\n<p>The clash on Thursday comes a day after Senegal, whose star-packed side includes another Liverpool star in Sadio Mane, face Burkina Faso in the first semi-final, also in Yaounde.<\/p>\n<p>It will be an emotional occasion for the Burkinabe, whose coach Kamou Malo says they will be &#8220;playing for our people who are being tested by current events&#8221;, referring to a recent military coup.<\/p>\n<p>Here, AFP Sport looks ahead to the last-four clashes with Senegal favoured to qualify for a second successive final, while Cameroon and Egypt meet in a repeat of the 2017 title decider.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cameroon v

Tribouillard<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Cameroon sharpshooters Vincent Aboubakar (six) and Karl Toko-Ekambi (five) are the leading scorers in this Cup of Nations, having bagged between them all 11 goals scored by the Indomitable Lions.<\/p>\n<p>Egypt have particularly painful memories of Aboubakar, whose late goal gave Cameroon a come-from-behind 2-1 triumph in the 2017 final in Libreville.<\/p>\n<p>The Saudi Arabia-based goalmouth predator drew a blank against Gambia, but was denied a hat-trick by two close shaves and a header striking the chest of Gambian goalkeeper Baboucarr Gaye.<\/p>\n<p>Lyon forward Toko-Ekambi, one of many Cup of Nations stars with African roots born in Europe, came to the rescue by netting twice in seven minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Now they face the Ahmed Hegazy-marshalled defence of record seven-time champions Egypt, a country renowned for rearguard strength both at national team and club levels.<\/p>\n<p>A major concern for Egypt, though, is that they may have to field third-choice goalkeeper Mohamed Sobhy as Mohamed Elshenawy and Mohamed Abougabal had to retire injured against the Ivorians and Moroccans.<\/p>\n<p>At the other end of the pitch, there is the menace posed by two-time African Footballer of the Year Salah, who debuted for his country in 2011, a year after they last conquered Africa by beating Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>After a slow start in Cameroon, Salah led by example against Morocco, equalising and then setting up the extra-time winner for fellow Premier League forward Mahmoud Trezeguet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Burkina Faso v

the continent.<\/p>\n<p>The Teranga Lions have come agonisingly close twice, losing on penalties to Cameroon in Bamako 20 years ago and narrowly to Algeria in Cairo in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Reigning African Footballer of the Year Mane says he would happily exchange &#8220;all the medals he has won (in England and Europe) for a Cup of Nations gold gong&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He may never have a better chance of realising his dream as Senegal find themselves one victory away from the final while rarely moving into overdrive.<\/p>\n<p>They topped a group including modest opponents Guinea, Malawi and Zimbabwe while winning only once and scoring only once through a Mane penalty.<\/p>\n<p>Only when last-16 rivals Cape Verde were reduced to nine men, did Senegal score, and they then punished sloppy Equatorial Guinea defending to win 3-1 with Mane, surprisingly, not among the scorers.<\/p>\n<p>While much attention has been on Salah, Mane and Aboubakar, Burkina Faso have progressed almost unnoticed until impressively eliminating Tunisia, who defeated Nigeria in the previous round.<\/p>\n<p>The Stallions could afford to keep Aston Villa forward Bertrand Traore on the bench throughout the quarter-final in Garoua, but teenage match-winner Dango Ouedraogo misses out due to suspension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YAOUNDE, Cameroon, Jan 31 &#8211; Mohamed Salah-captained Egypt
