Two years ago, Ambroise Oyongo left the Africa Cup of Nations distraught and uncertain about his future. An abrupt trade from the New York Red Bulls to Montreal Impact - executed without forewarning or his consent - disrupted his tournament. Days after scoring his first goal for his national team, he watched Cameroon slide out of AFCON 2015 with a loss to (eventual champion) Ivory Coast.
In 2017, however, Oyongo leaves the Africa Cup of Nations a champion. Cameroon beat Egypt, 2-1, in the AFCON 2017 final.
History was against the Indomitable Lions.
