US EditionCameroon strike early early to secure win over Gabon
Cameroon overcame recent turmoil with an early goal by Etta Eyong and topped Group F alongside Ivory Coast after their 1-0 win over Gabon, officials said.
- AGADIR, Morocco, Dec 24: Cameroon national team opened their Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a 1-0 victory over Gabon national team after Etta Eyong scored in the sixth minute following a Bryan Mbeumo pass, confirmed by VAR.
- They sacked coach Marc Brys three weeks ago, leaving goalkeeper Andre Onana out of the squad after missing World Cup qualification last month, and appointed David Pagou amid confusing announcements.
- Bryan Mbeumo was particularly influential, creating several chances, and substitute Frank Magri headed against the Gabon crossbar 11 minutes from the end in a fast-tempo game.
- The result moves Cameroon national team level with holders Ivory Coast national team atop Group F, with all 24 teams having played, and they face Ivory Coast in Marrakesh on December 28.
- Looking beyond the group stage, the win positions Cameroon and new faces like Etta Eyong, linked with Arsenal, as key to their recovery.
