About an hour before kick-off, as darkness fell, there was the most amazing aerial display around the stadium as thousands upon thousands of bats took to the skies of Abidjan.
Well, with just over 10 minutes to go, Rigobert Song's decision to finally send out the bat signal and call for Vincent Aboubakar got a huge cheer from the Cameroon fans.
Top scorer at the last Afcon two years ago, the Indomitable Lions talisman has yet to play at this tournament because of a hamstring injury.
Can he save his side once again?
