00:00 What happens here?
00:03 Tom Abongile, the South African referee, gets the game underway.
00:08 Karamaru, of course, playing in the green, yellow and red.
00:13 Such a threat.
00:16 Good fist.
00:18 Thought his fist touch would find a teammate, but it's been picked up here.
00:21 Good opportunity.
00:22 Here's Bimini Amana.
00:23 Bimini Amana puts it on his left foot!
00:26 Great save from Onana.
00:29 And that could have been in the back of the net.
00:32 The danger.
00:33 Very dangerous indeed.
00:35 Maybe a...
00:37 Scoring a couple of late goals.
00:40 Here's Mbumo into the penalty area.
00:43 Well, there's Chester.
00:44 And their final group game opportunity.
00:55 Great shot!
00:56 Oh, wonderful save as well.
00:57 Andre Onana comes to the rescue.
00:59 Saidi Ntibazonkiza, the man.
01:03 He has got such a lethal, venomous strike when he unleashes one of those beauties.
01:07 The man with the whistle, Tom Abongile.
01:11 Taken quickly.
01:12 Danger, danger is lurking.
01:14 They've got to be careful.
01:15 Good ball down the left-hand side.
01:16 Oh, it's come right across.
01:18 Kicked away.
01:19 The scenario bit.
01:24 A big scoring game, of course, would favour both teams.
01:27 Great ball down the middle.
01:29 It's an opportunity.
01:30 Oh, he just couldn't get his shot in Khal Tokoyakambi.
01:33 And that was brilliant defensive play.
01:35 Just that little touch was enough.
01:37 Kicking the ball onto Tokoyakambi and afterwards.
01:40 Look at that.
01:42 That is inspirational from the captain, Frederic Nsabi-Mioumba.
01:46 Nicely done by Chupomoting.
01:51 Here is Mbumo.
01:52 Mbumo gets the ball.
01:53 That is a very hard cross.
01:58 Teed up once again.
01:59 Delivery is not too bad.
02:00 And it's a wonderful flick there from Khal Tokoyakambi.
02:03 But monitored very safely there by Rakundo.
02:08 There's the delivery into the penalty box.
02:13 Another incredible save.
02:15 And Bemenyemana, another player.
02:18 Again, showing us just how dangerous they are.
02:23 The free kick was an absolute delight there from Thibas Onkisat.
02:27 And the header.
02:28 But look at that for a save.
02:30 Andre Unana just stopping this.
02:33 Maybe it's going to be short.
02:35 They've taken it.
02:36 Yes, they have.
02:37 An opportunity for a shot.
02:38 The rifled effort.
02:40 Now, Cameroon on the attack.
02:42 Mbumo gets it out wide.
02:44 Picks the ball up.
02:46 Oh, he gets knocked over.
02:49 But he doesn't.
02:50 He doesn't fall.
02:51 Great save.
02:52 What a save that was.
02:54 Rakundo coming to the rescue.
02:56 And he just beat Lyongola very well.
02:59 And at the other end, Bemenyemana.
03:01 That's the scenario.
03:04 And Cameroon at third position.
03:07 Burundi with a better goal difference.
03:10 An opportunity here.
03:11 Unless, unless, Habubaka Mbumo.
03:15 Mbumo, he's got a overlap.
03:17 There it is.
03:19 Well, that's a good save, but the flag has gone up.
03:21 The flag has gone up.
03:23 Super dangerous.
03:25 Dispossessed.
03:26 Great work in the midfield.
03:27 Picked up and taken for by Christua.
03:29 By Franke Griseb.
03:32 Picked up on the right-hand side.
03:33 And it's Tam.
03:34 Mbumo has gone a little bit too far.
03:37 Or has it?
03:39 Well, he did well to accelerate and still connect.
03:42 Here he is.
03:45 The wily contender.
03:48 An opportunity.
03:49 A couple of players there queuing up here a little bit.
03:51 Very dangerous indeed.
03:52 Will the shot come in?
03:53 The shot does come in.
03:54 Another opportunity!
03:55 Onana!
03:56 And a massive long-range shot.
04:00 They're still in with a chance.
04:01 And Lyongola unable to get his shot in.
04:04 Blocked again.
04:05 This time by Christopher Wu.
04:07 How much time are they going to give those players
04:11 hanging around the penalty area?
04:13 Clearance wasn't good.
04:17 And how about that for it?
04:18 It's a second chance.
04:20 Big, sturdy drive coming in from the right-hand side.
04:26 3-3.
04:31 If we get a 4-4, Cameroon will qualify.
04:33 Because of goals scored.
04:35 The fact that Namibia are in a point above them.
04:39 We're all square at the moment if it all stays in a draw
04:44 in this encounter.
04:45 But the fact that Namibia have scored 6 goals.
04:48 We've only scored 4 goals.
04:50 And Cameroon only 3.
04:51 Basically tells you that if there's...
04:55 Oh, it's a giveaway!
04:57 It's in the back of the net!
04:58 You can't do that!
04:59 You cannot do that!
05:01 Riga Verstraun, Cameroon jump up to the sky!
05:06 A key goal.
05:07 A goal for the team.
05:09 They've done something important here.
05:14 But just look at this.
05:15 One-seam raccoon.
05:16 The ball goes out to Christoph Ndouagira.
05:20 Oh, he just makes a complete hash of it.
05:24 A pass back that will haunt him for a long time.
05:30 First-time shot.
05:34 Just look at this.
05:35 Left foot into the corner from Brian Mbumo.
05:39 And it's been picked up.
05:43 Mbumo, deemed as a saviour for Cameroon potentially.
05:47 Maybe not.
05:48 Maybe it will be about Burundi coming back.
05:50 Gets brought down over on that far side.
05:53 And they go.
06:05 There's a chance!
06:06 Oh no!
06:07 Abu Bakr couldn't get it over the line.
06:10 The connection just wasn't there.
06:13 It kind of squirmed over.
06:16 He lunged but...
06:18 Tom Abongile, very much on top of it.
06:25 Oh, there's some hands there.
06:27 You want to be doing that.
06:28 That's going to get you into all sorts of trouble.
06:30 Here's the corner.
06:31 Flies over.
06:32 An opportunity.
06:33 Anybody there?
06:34 It's in the back of the net!
06:35 Driven in!
06:36 A low shot from Christoph Ndouagira.
06:38 The centre-back.
06:40 Oh, it's a magical moment for him.
06:43 The Rennes centre-back.
06:45 The 21-year-old.
06:47 Frustration for Burundi.
06:49 And all of a sudden, things turn around.
06:52 And you can see that Samuel Eto'o and Roger Miller's up there.
06:57 And the fact that he came in to replace Castellato.
07:01 Just look at this.
07:02 It comes over.
07:03 There's a bit of movement.
07:04 A ball falls down.
07:05 Abu Bakr can't latch onto it.
07:07 And of course, a loose ball like that.
07:09 You get the chance.
07:10 You fire it in.
07:12 From close range.
07:14 Comes off his leg.
07:16 And a beautiful strike into the corner.
07:19 And that's the celebration.
07:20 That's what we're talking about.
07:22 There's the delivery into the penalty box.
07:29 Not bad at all.
07:30 Taken so well there by Andrew Onana.
07:32 Now, free-kick time.
07:37 Called Tokoye Kambi.
07:39 Tokoye Kambi's shot taken well by the goalkeeper.
07:44 And Chupo Moting doing really well.
07:46 That's a good ball from Tokoye Kambi as well.
07:48 Picked up by Frank Nguisa.
07:50 Here is the Napoli man.
07:51 Gets past his man.
07:52 Tries to pop the ball through.
07:54 That's beautifully done.
07:55 Oh, it's another nice little move.
07:57 A little bit too tame there for the goalkeeper.
08:00 Rakundo, but Brian Mbumo.
08:02 Rankings.
08:04 As it stands.
08:05 Cameroon, Namibia going through.
08:07 As it stands.
08:08 It's just there's no one there.
08:10 Seven points for Cameroon, Namibia.
08:13 Like they're really enjoying themselves on the pitch here.
08:17 And what an honour it is to represent your nation.
08:22 High ball coming over.
08:23 So close there for Baz Ombwa.
08:25 And he was just getting...
08:28 In between the goalkeeper and the defender.
08:32 That was not far off at all.
08:35 A little bit static at the back.
08:39 Now look.
08:40 Drogira.
08:46 Well, his shot doesn't find the back of the net.
08:48 Skies it quite high.
08:50 Oh, off the back.
08:53 They've got to go for it.
08:55 And there's...
08:57 Aboubakar goes around the outside.
08:59 Oh, another mistake in the goal.
09:01 Oh, he scores!
09:03 The man from Garoua in his own backyard.
09:08 And the celebrations follow.
09:11 Another defensive blunder.
09:14 And Gabriel Mbarroubi, the Agriculture and Development Minister.
09:20 Look at this.
09:21 Well, what a mess up again.
09:23 First touch, second touch, third touch.
09:27 And then in it goes.
09:29 As cool as you like.
09:31 3-0.
09:32 Cameroon leaving the best till last.
09:36 Scored more goals in this game than they have
09:39 in all their previous games in this group.
09:42 Well, they matched it at least.
09:46 Waits for support.
09:48 Five minutes are up.
09:51 Five minutes are up.
09:52 Massive victory for Cameroon.
10:11 Coming into this match, they had scored three goals
10:14 in the previous matches in qualifying.
10:17 But in Garoua, they scored three goals in the second half.
10:19 And the Indomitable Lions top group C
10:22 and will be at the African Cup of Nations in the Cote d'Ivoire in January.
10:26 Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for watching this presentation here on BN Sports.
