The visitors neutralized the local selection (1-1) on March 24 in Yaoundé.
We had to wait for the entry of Pierre Kunde Malong for Cameroon to restore balance to the score. Injected at the 70th minute instead of Olivier Ntcham, the midfielder took charge of the execution of a free kick on the 40m. The leather lifted in the penalty area, found the head of Courage in a handkerchief. The midfielder, who signed his first outing with the Indomitable Lions, also opened his goal counter. Something to wake up the den of Mfandena who was immersed in doubt and calm. The Indomitable Lions had thus restored the balance to the score. The Brave warriors opened the scoring in the 26thth minute per Shalulile who took advantage of a hesitation from Castelleto on a lead ball behind the Cameroonian defense. The central defender preferred to cover the ball for his goalkeeper who remained in his goals, rather than placing the leather in touch. The two opponents will maintain this balance on the clock until the final whistle.

Cameroon respects the “tradition” which wants it not to lose at the Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium, but is thus hung at home by Namibia, despite its domination of 71% possession of the ball. The match counted for the 3th day of qualifying for the 2023 African Cup of Nations (CAN) which will be played in Côte d’Ivoire in January 2024. But the country of Samuel Eto’o remains first in group C with four points, followed by Namibia (2 points). Burundi follow with the same number of points, and Kenya, suspended by FIFA, closes the tail of the group with zero points. The return match will take place next Tuesday in South Africa. Rigobert Song will thus have the opportunity to revise his copy and rectify the missed shot in Yaoundé.
