After qualifying for the round of 16 of the African Cup of Nations, Cameroon was defeated by Nigeria (2-0) on Saturday evening in Ivory Coast.
Nigeria’s African Ballon d’Or Victor Osimhen eliminated André-Frank Zambo Anguissa’s Cameroon in the round of 16 of the African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, Saturday evening in Abidjan (2-0). The Super Eagles will challenge Angola in the quarter-finals next Friday.
Failing to shine, the Nigerians found the fault half an hour into the game with a huge ball recovery from Osimhen, who served Ademola Lookman (36th). The Atalanta striker crucified the Indomitable Lions at the end of the match (90th), Rigobert Song’s players not really having had the opportunity to snatch extra time. Vincent Aboubakar, the captain and scorer of Cameroon, entered for the end of the match (78th). In vain.
Moses Simon (Nantes) and Terem Moffi (Nice) are therefore not yet returning to France, while Christopher Wooh (Rennes), Jean-Charles Castelletto (Nantes), Enzo Tchato (MHSC), Frank Magri (Toulouse) and Faris Moumbagna ( OM) will return to their club in the coming days.
