WATCH: Aboubakar wins AFCON for Cameroon with incredible strike

The Cameroon striker flipped the ball over his defender before burying the 88th-minute winner.

Vincent Aboubakar didn't just win the Africa Cup of Nations for Cameroon — he did it in style.

With Cameroon and Egypt tied late in Sunday's AFCON final, the Besitkas forward stepped up with a brilliant 88th-minute strike to give the Indomitable Lions a 2-1 win.

Collecting a hopeful long ball at the top of Egypt's penalty area, Aboubakar flicked the ball over the head of defender Ali Gabr before volleying a bouncing shot inside the far post.

With the win, Cameroon booked its ticket to this summer's Confederations Cup in Russia.
