Cameroon and Gambia had to draw for Ghana to stay alive in the African Cup, so that Iñaki Williams would not pack his bags in the group stage of the continental trophy, but the miracle did not come. Cameroon’s victory sends the Gambians to the canvas and, in turn, the Ghanaians, who with two points no longer have a mathematical chance of progressing to the round of 16.
A complete blow for one of the greats in Africa, which with Kudus, a West Ham player and its great star, and Iñaki Williams considered that it had a chance of doing something important in the Ivory Coast event. But the Athletic player once again had a poor performance and gradually lost his starting position. On the last day came failure with Mozambique’s two goals in added time that left Chris Houghton’s team on the ropes.
Cameroon, which once again left Onana on the bench in favor of Ondoa, was on the verge of suffering a tremendous setback in an extreme situation that ended in a comeback (3-2) against the Gambians and thanks, because Gambia had a goal annulled goal in the 95th minute that left them out. The loss of their star striker, Vincent Aboubakar, is being very difficult to make up for, but even in this way they have managed to overcome the first sieve of the tournament, something that Iñaki Williams and Ghana cannot boast of. A complete disaster.
