Cameroon 1-3 Egypt (AET): The Lions look far from indomitable throughout the Africa Cup of Nations and Paul Le Guen must find their form ahead of their knock-out match against defending tournament champions Egypt
Try, try, try again: Achille Emana, after swinging four left-side corners in to the near post, finally gets one to deflect off Ahmed Hassan on the line and put Cameroon ahead
Hassan's blushes are forgotten when Alexandre Song gives the Egypt captain time to squeeze a 35-yard effort past a flailing Idriss Kameni's and add to the litany of goalkeeping errors in the tournament
In a scrappy game, Cameroon captain Samuel Eto'o may be one of the few players who can spot a pass or keep the ball but is often wasted in his free role, coming short to feed other players in the Lions' attack
Cameroon dominate the second half but the game goes to extra time when goals from Mohammed Gedo and Hassan put Egypt 3-1 up and Auerelien Chedjou's red card compounds Cameroon's lack of defensive composure
After 120 minutes of missed chances, shaky defending and worse goalkeeping, Cameroon go home and Egypt progress, having won the previous two tournaments but thought to be too old to win in 2010
