The African Cup of Nations saw its Round of 16 continue yesterday night as Cameroon survived the Islanders in Comoros with a late strike from captain Vincent Aboubakar.
The hosts, Cameroon played in their capital city of Yaounde as Toko Ekambi opened up the scoreline in the 29th minute.
In a surprising turn of events, the Islanders started out with Chaker Alhadur in goal. A left back as the goalkeeper due to 3 previous choices all out with Covid-19. However Alhadur did perform brilliantly only letting in 1 goal in for the first 70 minutes. Alas, he did finally let in another goal as the Cameroon Captain took the win home and continued their dominance into the Quarter Final Stage.
Cameroon who won two of their last three group games have really dominated throughout this tournament with great passing and finishing skills. Now they get ready to face Gambia in the Quarter Finals on Saturday night.
The Comoros scored 1 goal in the 81st minute but it just wasn’t enough as Cameroon’s Hongla made a challenge 35 yards from the goal and gave away a free kick that resulted in M’Changama scoring a goal for the Islanders.
