Samuel Eto’o equalled the Africa Cup of Nations goalscoring record as Cameroon restored their reputation with a comfortable 5-1 win over Zambia in their Group C match at Kumasi’s Baba Yaro stadium on Saturday.
Eto’o converted a 66th-minute penalty to register his 14th goal in five tournaments, matching a 38-year-old record set by Laurent Pokou of Côte d’Ivoire.
It came after Cameroon, beaten in their opening group game by Egypt, had gone 3-0 ahead at halftime.
Geremi, Joseph-Desire Job and Achille Emana scored before the interval and Job got one more in the last 10 minutes with Chris Katongo pulling one back in the final minute. – Reuters
