AFCON 2015: Cameroon beat Ivory Coast 4-1. See All Results

Cameroon continued their resurgence as they hammered Ivory Coast 4-1 in their 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Yaounde. Having put their disastrous World Cup campaign behind them to beat DR Congo last weekend, the Indomitable Lions made it two wins out of two games in Group D in their quest to reach next year’s tournament in Morocco. 

Cameroon striker Vincent Aboubakar and Clinton Njie (on the right above) both scored twice as the hosts ran out comprehensive victors. Both forwards were also on target in the Indomitable Lions win on Saturday over DR Congo, in what was Njie’s international debut. 

A deflection off a defender helped Njie put Cameroon ahead on 15 minutes only for Yaya Toure to level for Ivory Coast 10 minutes later when he slid in to convert a cross. 

Aboubakar intercepted a headed back-pass to fire past veteran goalkeeper Boubacar Barry and give the home team a 2-1 half-time lead. A loose ball was hammered home by Aboubakar on 54 minutes and he set up Njie to score with an close-range shot 14 minutes from time.
