The first goal of Cameroon was scored, just after four minutes of play, through the Fenerbahce striker Webo, who capitalized on the opponents defensive error and fired into the net. The host dorminated the match from the kickoff time.

In the 30th minute of the game, the FC Nancy player Moukandjo registered Cameroon's second goal beating the goalkeeper, Ben Cherifia again.



Like Victor Moses did yesterday after scoring against Ethiopia, he removed his jersey in celebration and was booked also.

The first half ended with 2 - 0, but Tunisia did not waste time in pulling one goal back as soon as the second half started, through Akaichi.
