Cameroon scores at All-Africa Games

Cameroon defeated Zambia 2-1 in the semifinal of the football event of the All-Africa Games in Calabar on Monday to set up a final clash with hosts Nigeria.

Zambia took the lead after 12 minutes as the Cameroonian defence caved in and Isaac Chansa followed up on a rebound to find the back of the net.

Defending champions Cameroon levelled nine minutes later through the impressive Markus Mokake.

Both teams went in search of a winner in the second period and with two minutes left the ever-dangerous Mokake meandered through the Zambian defence to net his sixth goal of the tournament.

Thursday’s final is being held at the Abuja National Stadium. — Sapa-AFP
