If this African Nations Championship (CHAN 2020) will have been rather successful for Cameroon in terms of organization, the same cannot be said about the sport.

, three days after a pitiful elimination in the semi-final against Morocco (0-4 ).
Despite an almost constant domination against Sily, the Cameroonian selection has never found the fault.
Worse, she even received a lesson in efficiency and lucidity against her Guinean counterpart.
Thus, in the 9th minute, Morlaye Sylla, one of the revelations of this tournament, sinks into the Cameroonian defense and sees his deflected strike calm the already relative enthusiasm of the Cameroonian public: 1-0.
During the stoppage of play of the first period, Mamadouba Bangoura, launched in the back of the opposing defense, adjusts the Cameroonian goalkeeper, Haschou Kerrido: 2-0, 45th + 1.
A powerless Cameroon
In the second half, despite the encouragement of the few thousand spectators allowed in the spans of the Reunification Stadium, Martin Ndtoungou Mpilé's charges remained powerless.
They come up against Guineans whose third place is the best performance in the African Nations Championship.
The supporters of the Indomitable Lions, they will try to console themselves by hoping to see a good final between Morocco and Mali, this February 7 in Yaoundé.
