Aboubakar accused his teammates of doing whatever they wanted on the pitch, suggesting that there was no teamwork which led to their defeat.

While Aboubakar scored Cameroon’s only goal during the penalty shootout, Egypt’s Abou Gabal made two saves before Clinton Njie struck his effort wide.

Speaking in his post-match press conference Aboubakar, told the press, “It’s a big disappointment.

“Cameroon organizes a CAN and is eliminated in the semi-finals. Everyone wanted to do what they want and here is the result today. When we play collectively, we do good things.”
