Indomitable lions park their bags out of confederations cup competition

Despite Fabrice Ondoa’s formidable goal keeping, Cameroon lost to Germany 1-3. This means the African representatives are out of the championship of champions in Russia.

The lions had begun the match with some bitterness in them, not smiling with the Germans. They played good football, till the moment when, German midfielder Kerem Dermibay slipped in the first goal at the 48^th minute. This greatly dampened the spirits of Hugo Broos and his boys as even fighting for a draw could not save them. They needed a win, which they did not get in the end.

The African squad entered the second half, hoping for a better outcome, but that was not the case. The Cameroonian defence became restless as the German side gave them much work. This pressure resulted in two goals during this second half which put the score at 3-1, after Aboubakar made a difference with his header from the right upright.

It is worth noting that, the public witnessed a historic incident during this encounter, which saw Siani awarded a red card for no reason. It is only after video checks that it was discovered that Mabouka was the guilty one an then consequently, the decision was reversed and Ernest Mabouka was sent out.

This defeat means that, Cameroon is out and Germany moves to the semi-finals. In the Chile-Australian match, the Chileans emerged winners after ending in a draw and will move to the semis alongside Germany in group B.
