AFCON Review: Cameroon Players Want to Write Their Own History!

AFCON Review: Cameroon Players Want to Write Their Own History! The Indomitable Lions got the better of Gambia this weekend.

Hosts Cameroon defeated Gambia 2-0 in their AFCON quarter final. This crop of players is hoping to make it two successes out of three tournaments.

The Indomitable Lions went through thanks to a brace from striker Karl Toko-Ekambi. Both goals came in the second half, after both sides went into halt-time goalless.

Going into the match, Cameroon were the big favourites to win the match, and so they proved their merit to be true.

“I’m proud of the performance of the team tonight.” Man of the Match Karl Toko-Ekambi said to the press.

“Gambia are a difficult team to play but we never gave up even when we struggled in first half. We kept working and we got the crack.

“It’s good, everyone has a role to play in this team, in 2017, I played a lot less, it’s not the case today, it’s the victory at the end that is the most important. We are a family; the group lives well.

“The group prefers to focus on the present, this competition and not focus on the past with what happened in 1972, we want to write our own history.” He spoke.

The Cameroonians will play Egypt in the semi-final, which will be a repeat of the 2017 final which the Indomitable Lions won, thanks to Vincent Abubaker. AFCON Review: Cameroon Players Want to Write Their Own History!
