But in the second half, the Cameroon Cubs took control of the mid-field as soon the match resumed. They were able to make good use of that opportunity just four minutes after the interval, and reduced the scoreline to 3 - 2.
In the 78th minute Ghana's Henry Medrious scored his second goal of the game to make it 4 - 2
but four minutes to stoppage time Cameroon's Forkem Kong reduced the scoreline to 4 - 3.
