AFCON 2021, Gambia 0-2 Cameroon: Toko Ekambi double ends debutants’ fairytale run

Gambia
had
surprised
many
by
even
making
it
out
of
the
group
stage
in
their
debut
participation
in
the
tournament,
before
going
on
to
eliminate
Guinea
in
the
last
16.

But
the
nation
ranked
150
in
the
world

exactly
100
places
below
Cameroon

fell
to
a
couple
of
Toko
Ekambi
strikes
at
Stade
Omnisport
de
Douala
on
Saturday
(January
29).

Cameroon
dominated
the
first
half
but
only
seriously
tested
opposition
keeper
Baboucarr
Gaye
on
one
occasion
through
a
Vincent
Aboubakar
header.

Lyon
forward
Toko
Ekambi
made
the
breakthrough
for
the
home
side
five
minutes
into
the
second
half,
however,
with
a
header
across
Gaye
from
a
Collins
Fai
delivery.

Any
hopes
Gambia
had
of
prolonging
their
magical
run
further
were
ended
seven
minutes
later
when
Ekambi
got
in
behind
to
convert
Martin
Hongla’s
cross
from
close
range.

Egypt
or
Morocco,
who
meet
on
Sunday,
await
Cameroon
in
the
semi-finals.
