A shock. Between them, these nations have accumulated eight African Cup of Nations trophies. Three for Nigeria, five for Cameroon. Super Eagles and Indomitable Lions challenged each other, this Saturday, January 27 at the Félix-Houphouët-Boigny stadium in Abidjan (Ivory Coast), for one of the big shocks of the round of 16 of this CAN 2024.
End of the match and elimination of Cameroon
0 shots on target, Cameroon never put the defense of the Super Eagles in difficulty, who knew how to be efficient and pragmatic. A 2-0 victory, clean and flawless. We will have to count on Nigeria. A serious candidate for final victory in the African Cup of Nations. The Super Eagles, led by a sublime Victor Osimhen, will face a great team from Angola in the quarter-final.
90′ A lot of added time!
10 more minutes of happiness. These minutes will be long for Cameroon…
89′ BUUUUTTTTTTTTT you Nigeria !!!!
It makes 2-0 and again that devil Lookman, who finishes off the Indomitable Lions. He comes to cut a cross from the left, after a beautiful combination on the Cameroonian left side!!!
86′ Nigeria misses the KO goal
Ola Aina finds himself strangely alone in the Cameroon box after receiving an offering from the left, he misses his shot, it is well saved by the goalkeeper!
80′ 10 minutes of floating
The goalkeeper’s injury caused the match to lose a lot of time. There will certainly be a lot of additional time.
77′ The return of the savior for Cameroon?
All in all, that’s what the Cameroonian coach is trying. Vincent Aboubakar returns in place of Oumar Gonzales, an attacker for a defender.
73′ The Nigeria goalkeeper is injured and replaced
Stanley Nwabili does not seem capable of continuing, he has not recovered from the previous shock. He is replaced by Omonia Nicosia goalkeeper Uzoho.
71′ Cameroon can’t do it
N’Koudou on a good free kick finds no one. Time is running out for the Lions.
64′ Time out
Free kick for Cameroon, it gives nothing. But the Nigeria goalkeeper is writhing in pain, he was hit by a player.
62′ the African Golden Ball on fire
Victor Osimhen tackles, presses, shoots, he is everywhere. The Naples player even harangues the crowd!
57′ A scary stat
Cameroon has not scored once since the start of the match. The coach of the Indomitable Lions is aware of this, changes must be made.
54′ The frame is not caught by the Super Eagles
After a breakthrough in Cameroon’s defense, Onyeka was brought down on the edge of the area. Lookman takes the free kick, it is off target.
49′ The free kick achieves nothing
After the foul on Osimhen, Nigeria has an interesting free kick. From left to right. Lookman takes the free kick with his right foot, it goes in, but the goalkeeper clears the ball well.
48′ Le poison Osimhen
He has been targeted, since the resumption, Nigeria’s number 9 has been cut out. Cameroon’s defense no longer knows what to do.
46′ Once again…
Victor Osimhen took the upper hand over Oumar Gonzales, whether physically or mentally. Once again, the Neapolitan overtakes the Cameroonian.
It’s halftime
The Cameroonian lock will not have held very long. There is more edge, more aggressiveness on the Nigeria side. That’s seen on goal. Oumar Gonzales’ huge mistake in the 35th minute to open the scoring reflects the first half of the Indomitable Lions.
45+1′ This time Cameroon’s defense anticipates well
A long ball towards Osimhen, Fabrice Ondoa comes out well, and clears the ball into touch.
45′ More added time
There will be 6 minutes of added time, especially after the use of the video on the goal which was denied to the Nigerians.
43′ Free kick for Cameroon
Zaidu tackles and fouls. The referee whistles a good set piece for the Indomitable Lions, but the shot flies.
41′ The Cameroonians are suffocating
The Indomitable Lions have clearly taken a blow to the back of their heads. They no longer bring balloons out of their camp.
36′ BUUTTTTTTTTTTT you Nigeria !!!!!
Ohhhhhhhh the ball of Oumar Gonzales, who has the ball stolen 30 meters from his goal, by the inevitable, the unstoppable, Victor Osimhen, he shifts for Lookman, who only has to propel the ball into Cameroon’s goal!
28′ It’s hot!
The playing conditions are pretty perfect, the pitch is perfect, it’s not raining. However, the heat is present, it is 30 degrees, and it is starting to be felt in the game, because the intensity is calming down. There will even be a refreshment break!
24′ Beautiful N’Koudou-Magri combination
George-Kevin Nkoudou, the former Nantais player, sends a good ball for Toulouse’s Magri. He finds it in the box, but number 9 cannot hit.
20′ Big mistake by Frank Magri
TFC number 19 destabilizes a Super Eagle in the air, an interesting free kick. He doesn’t give anything.
16′ A very balanced start to the match
50.6% for Nigeria against 49.4% for Cameroon, it’s possession, it’s very tight, like the match.
13′ Magri on the ground
After an aerial duel with a Nigerian defender, Magri, the TFC striker remained on the ground.
9′ Goal denied for Nigeria!
Well taken corner from Lookman, the Cameroon goalkeeper does not clear the ball well, a Super Eagle takes over and hits, it is deflected by Ajayi, who opens the scoring. But, but the referee is called by the VAR, he signals an offside, the goal is canceled!
7′ Round d’observation
The two teams fear each other and you can feel it. The first goal is likely to be very important.
3′ Nigeria responds
The untenable Victor Osimhen tries to lob Cameroon’s defense with a pigeon wing, but Christopher Wooh defends well.
1′ Cameroon starts well
They control the ball, turn it, and get a first cross, which does nothing.
