In Group C of the African Cup of Nations, Cameroon began its journey by collecting only one point against Guinea. Despite the expectations placed on the Indomitable Lions, they were unable to take the lead against a team reduced to ten players.
Guinea opened the scoring with a Bayo goal, but were quickly reduced to ten men after Kamono was sent off just before half-time. The Cameroonians managed to equalize thanks to Franck Magri in the second half, but could not take the lead despite numerous chances.
The lack of precision and success was the weak point of the Zambo Anguissa team. Despite their efforts, they were unable to make a difference before the final whistle. Guinea, for its part, held on thanks to the impressive performance of Aguibou Camara and numerous counterattacks. They could even have won.
Cameroon’s next match will be decisive, as they will face Senegal who won their first match against Gambia. The Indomitable Lions will have to show a better game and find the net if they want to hope for a first victory in this competition.
In conclusion, Cameroon missed the opportunity to take the lead against Guinea despite the expulsion of an opposing player. They will have to pull themselves together and play a more efficient game in their next match against Senegal. The competition is still long and everything remains possible, but the Indomitable Lions will have to raise their level of play if they want to qualify for the final stages.
