Cameroon vs Comoros LIVE!
Hosts Cameroon made heavy work of beating 10-man Comoros 2-1 on Monday to advance to the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals at the expense of a team who had everything stacked against them in the last 16.
Karl Toko Ekambi and Vincent Aboubakar scored Cameroon’s goals as the hosts moved into a comfortable lead with 20 minutes remaining against Comoros, who were forced to use a left-back in goal due to a Covid outbreak and then had captain Jimmy Abdou shown a straight red card inside seven minutes.
But Comoros still put up a gallant fight and, despite the considerable disadvantage, pulled a goal back from Youssouf M’Changama with nine minutes left via a stunning free-kick.
There was to be no late comeback though, but the tournament debutants certainly did themselves proud against one of the favourites to life the trophy.
Cameroon meet Gambia in the last eight on Saturday, after they upset Guinea 1-0 earlier in the day.
