LAGOS,
Nigeria (AP) -- Cameroon was crowned African champion in the
most dramatic fashion on Sunday, beating Nigeria in a nerve-jangling
penalty shootout after the Super Eagles had fought back to secure
a 2-2 draw in regulation time. The Indomitable Lions, which
beat Nigeria in the African Cup finals of 1984 and 1988, secured
a third continental crown with what proved to be a controversial
4-3 win on penalties.
