The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon took on the Harambee Stars of Kenya this Friday at the Stade Omnisports Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaoundé. With this victory, Cameroon takes first place in Group J. Just one more victory and qualification for CAN 2025 will be guaranteed.
The most contested players in the squad will have proven beyond any doubt that they deserve the confidence of the coach. First of all, Christian Bassogog made all the right moves, both offensively and defensively. It is his accelerations which are the basis of three of our four goals.
Martin Hongla managed to unpack his array. These gris-gris who forced the formidable Masia, the training school of FC Barcelona to recruit him. The realistic goal he scored, coupled with the quality of the pass on Bassogog’s goal, allowed him to forget the “haters” who were a little too numerous.
Vincent Aboubakar? Yes, the captain is diminished. It could indeed be used correctly as during CAN 2017, that is to say as a joker. His knees no longer allow him to withstand the brutality of African football for 90 minutes. But in a short time, he can have an immeasurable impact on the destiny of a match. The captain was indeed present during this meeting. This penalty scored allows him to get a little closer to the Indomitable Lions goals record.
Marc Brys also allowed young Atemengue to benefit from his first selection. He took the place of the young Baleba in the midfield. The first was a little tricky for the man who also showed his first yellow card in the selection.
This match is also a demonstration that a united group is capable of moving mountains. Marc Brys said this in a post-match interview:
“I’ve been coaching for 30 years and this is the first time I’ve seen such a close-knit group. »
