The Indomitable Lions overcame Congo Red Devils last night for their first outing in the African Nations Championship.
Cameroon vs Congo was so far a tight match. Offensive assaults came from both sides. Except that, the conclusion was scarced.
It was at the 63rd minute that the right winger of Colombe Sportif du Dja et Lobo, Gérôme Ngom, released Cameroon with the opening goal . The 24-year-old player followed an acceleration on the left side of his teammate, Ramses Donfack, and made an anticipation on the ball. By a recovery of the head, he will scored the lone and unique goal of the encounter.
This is the result of his numerous overflows throughout the match. Something to abash the Congolese defense. His burst of speed and his calls which makes him one of the best players in the Cameroonian championship were very beneficial for the Intermediary Lions yesterday. No wonder he came out Most Valuable Player.
This victory of Cameroon is far from being the reflection of the game. Cameroon, which for long, dominated the match with an appreciable play style, often sinned by precipitation in its game with passes that are often too fair. The team would benefit from taking more risks and working on the finishing touches.
