Confederations Cup: Chile beats Cameroon 2:0
Cameroon have crumbled before Chile in the Confederations Cup in Russia.
The winners of Copa America put up a spirited fight whose reward were two goals.
The two goals were scored by Vidal and and Vargas.
Cameroon were the first to shake the net during the first half but a foul by Aboubakar Vincent annulled the goal.
Chile also lost a goal because one of their players was offside. A decision which has received diverse reactions from across the world.
The first half was almost controlled entire by the Chileans.
Cameroon took over during the second half but Chile stood their ground and scored the two goals to win the game.
The first goal only came with the entry of most dreaded Alexis Sanchez, who was rumoured to miss the game due to a sprained ankle.
However, some Cameroonians are even happy because the score was not as heavy as they had suspected, given that Chile are among the first four strongest teams in the world according to the latest FIFA world ranking. Cameroon are on the 32nd position.
Cameroon play their second match against Australia on Thursday.
So far only hosts Russia and Chile have won their games, 2-0 each.
Portugal drew 2-2 with Mexico earlier on Saturday.
