Laeticia Ateba led the charge in attack, and Marie-Paule Balana made some amazing saves, keeping Croatia from scoring for eight minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Croatia felt the pressure and improved their defence, scoring two goals in a row, but the score remained 22:12 for 11 minutes, as both teams failed to find the net until Cameroon&#8217;s Paola Ebanga ended the drought in the 55th minute.<\/p>\n<p>Croatia&#8217;s win was never in doubt, but their attack in the second half was not convincing, as they only scored six goals in 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Balana, who only played in the second half, had an impressive 56% save rate, while Besen had 48%, and both goalkeepers did a great job.<\/p>\n<p>Laeticia Ateba was the star of the match, scoring seven goals and earning the hummel Player of the Match award.<\/p>\n<p>In the other Group fixture , Montenegro defeated Senegal 29-21<\/p>\n<p>Cameroon will play Senegal on Monday at 3:30pm.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92023 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
