AFCON 2017: Expectations ahead of Ghana-Cameroon semi-final clash

In 2008 when the two met in the tournament, at the same stage, Indomitable Lions won by a single goal, breaking the hearts of Ghanaians who were hoping to win the competition that was being played on their home soil.

The Black Stars are on a mission to end the 35-year trophy drought and will have to put in everything to edge pass the highly motivated Cameroonian side who are chasing a fifth AFCON trophy.

Cameroon surprised football pundits by knocking out tournament favourites Senegal on a 5-4 penalties after 120 minutes of gruelling action in the quarter finals while Ghana defeated the Leopards of DR Congo by 2-1 to book a place at the semi-finals.

Ahead of the game, some Ghanaians have expressed their expectations.
