A penalty converted by Mohamed Abou-Treika helped Egypt labor to a 2-1 friendly win over a fringe Cameroon side in Omdurman.
A rare goal by Ahmed Elmohamady gave Egypt the lead but Cameroon equalized from the spot on 75 minutes.
Substitute Basem Ali came on to win a dubious penalty that was slotted home by the in-form Treika, who also came off the bench earlier.
It was the first of three warm-up games for Egypt in Sudan, with Bob Bradley�s men preparing for the World Cup qualifier against Mozambique on June 1.
