Cameroon and Gambia face off for a decisive victory in Group C of CAN 2024. The need to pocket all three points is crucial for Cameroon, at the same time hoping that Guinea loses to Senegal. The match takes place on Tuesday January 23 at the Stade de la Paix in Bouaké.
A major surprise in the composition of the Cameroonian team: goalkeeper André Onana, who joined the team after the start of the CAN from Manchester United, is relegated to the bench by coach Rigobert Song. Onana had a mixed performance in the previous match against Senegal, conceding three goals without any saves. It is therefore Fabrice Ondoa, starter in the first match, who will be the last defense of the Indomitable Lions.
The stakes are clear for Cameroon, which must win this meeting against Gambia while hoping for a misstep from Guinea against Senegal. A victory would give them a good chance of qualifying among the best thirds, or even taking second place from Guinea in the event of a big victory. For their part, the Gambians, although in a difficult position with no points on the clock, can still hope to qualify if they win.
Cameroon’s journey in this competition began with a draw against Guinea (1-1), followed by a defeat against Senegal (3-1). The Gambia, for its part, suffered two consecutive defeats against Senegal (3-0) and Guinea (1-0).
