Cameroon is in the semi-finals of the CAN. The Indomitable Lions easily disposed of Gambia thanks to a double from Karl Toko-Ekambi.
Karl Toko-Ekambi scores twice against Gambia
Cameroon dominates from start to finish their quarter-final of the CAN in a Japoma stadium in Douala on fire. The Indomitable Lions left The Gambia no chance. But in the first period, the Gambians sell their skin dearly. The Cameroonians thus come up against the Gambian defensive solidity in the first period. Vincent Aboubakar proved dangerous from the 13th minute on a superb shot. Collins Fai narrowly misses the target with a superb long shot (29′). And the essential Gambian goalkeeper Baboucar Gaye makes a huge save against Vincent Aboubakar (36th). Cameroon will not find the fault and return to the locker room with a goalless draw 0-0.
Karl Toko-Ekambi scores twice against Gambia
Cameroon raises the tone in the second half. The Indomitable Lions attack the Gambian camp as in the first period. A pressure that will pay off. Since Karl Toko-Ekambi gives the advantage to Cameroon. On a cross from Collins Fai, the Olympique Lyonnais striker places a crossed header and puts the ball in the back of the net (50th). It only took seven minutes before Toko-Ekambi scored twice on a cross from Martin Hongla. The Scorpions try to react but struggle to break through the Cameroonian defense. The adventure thus ends for the Gambian team which managed to reach the quarter-finals for its first participation. Cameroon will challenge either Morocco or Egypt in the semi-finals
