Nkong fires Cameroon into African final
Substitute Alain Nkong's second-half goal gave Cameroon a 1-0 win over hosts Ghana to take the four-time Africa Nations Cup winners through to Sunday's final.
Nkong slotted the ball past keeper Richard Kingson after being set up by Samuel Eto'o on 71 minutes at the end of a brilliant move which stood out all the more against the dullness of most of the game.
You're off: Andre Bikey sees red after his bizarre assault
It was a hugely disappointing match, given some of the excellent football which has been played in the rest of the tournament, and Ghana will regret taking such a laid-back approach to a game in which they had the huge advantage of vociferous home support.
It was not all joy for Cameroon as defender Andre Bikey will miss the final after being sent off in stoppage time for inexplicably pushing over a first-aid assistant attending to his captain Rigobert Song.
