Cameroon's Victory Sparks New Hope in Africa Cup of Nations | Sports-Games

Cameroon won 1-0 with a goal assisted by Bryan Mbeumo while Carlos Baleba left injured at half-time, raising concerns about his participation in the tournament.

  • In Agadir, Cameroon national team beat Gabon national team 1-0 in their opening Africa Cup of Nations match, while Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba went off injured at half-time.
  • Manchester United's interest in Carlos Baleba became publicly known but a move did not materialise before the transfer deadline, with Brighton reputedly demanding 100million and that asking price proved too high.
  • Starting behind Bryan Mbeumo, Carlos Baleba received treatment in first-half stoppage time and was substituted at half-time for Jean Onana.

  • Having struggled with a summer knee injury, Carlos Baleba said `I believe in our players` before the tournament, and he has completed 90 minutes just twice this season.
