This was the second meeting between the two West African nations in the tournament.
Cameroon won the first meeting 2-0 during their Group B match at the Chamazi Stadium and went into the final as favourites.
Guinea were contesting their first final ever in the tournament having beaten Nigeria 10-9 on penalties in the semifinals. Cameroon also overcame Angola 4-3 on penalties to qualify for their second final.
Neither team was able to breach the other’s defence in normal time forcing the game to go to penalties to decide a winner.
Saidou Alioum Moubarak scored the winning penalty for Cameroon, who converted all their penalties. Mohamed Sacko missed the fourth spot-kick for the Guineans.
The victory saw Cameroon claim their second AFCON U17 title after their triumph in 2003.
