AFCON RD-16 : Super Eagles To Play Cameroon On Saturday 

 

 

The Super Eagles of Nigeria will play the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in the round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations(AFCON) come Saturday at 9pm.

 

Nigeria needed an own goal to beat minnows Guinea-Bissau 1-0 and secure a place in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations.

 

On the other hand, Cameroon scored twice with time ticking away on Tuesday to snatch a dramatic 3-2 win over Gambia, secure an Africa Cup of Nations last-16 place, and eliminate Ghana from the tournament.

Ondoa, a cousin of Andre Onana, was the hero of the night parriying a hard close-range shot from Ali Sowe to safety in the early stages at the 40,000-seat stadium in the central city.

 

The goalkeeper rescued Cameroon again after 35 minutes, eventually grasping the ball after a Yankuba Minteh header after a corner appeared goal-bound.

 

Ondoa was in action again soon after, diving to push away a snapshot by Musa Barrow, who either scored or created the four Gambian goals at the last AFCON
