Conceding in very odd hours of the game; 45\u2019+2 and 90\u2019+4, Cameroon shared spoils with Mexico in a tough battle that ended 2-2, despite Bryan Mbeumo and Karl Toko Ekambi scoring to assure Victory for the Indomitable Lions.<\/p>\n
Kevin Gonzalez denied Cameroon victory by scoring the late equalizer to cancel Mbeumo and Toko\u2019s efforts toward reviving the team from slumber.<\/p>\n
Cameroon were the better side in the opening moments and Toko made a brilliant attempt in front on goal, dribbling pass two defenders before driving the ball towards goal, but a swift intervention from the Mexico defence put out the ball.<\/p>\n
Fabrice Ondoa made countless commendable saves in the first segment that prevented the team from conceding an early goal. It was a busy night for the Cameroon keeper, unlike Malagon who had very little work to do in goal<\/p>\n
Mexico dominated a larger percent of the half, but the game turned in favor of Cameroon when Mbeumo created an opportunity and broke through the defense, played a one-two with Kemen before scoring.<\/p>\n
The 37th minute goal from Mbeumo was his first for Cameroon.<\/p>\n
From the center circle back to Cameroon\u2019s half of the pitch after the goal, Mexico continued its dominance which eventually paid off deep into added time.<\/p>\n
Isreal Reyes leveled scores shortly before the break, taking advantage of an absent minded defense to outsmart Ondoa who didn\u2019t see that coming.<\/p>\n
Moumi Ngamaleu had a glaring opportunity very early into the second-half, but lack of concentration caused Fai Collin\u2019s cross wasted.<\/p>\n
Enzo Tchato made his debut by replacing Olivier Mbaizo midway into the second segment..<\/p>\n
A careless blunder from goalkeeper Malagon whose grib of the ball wasn\u2019t solid enough, saw Ekambi smartly snatch it and sent to the back of the empty net.<\/p>\n
Coach Rigobert Song reinforced his team as Chelsea’s young Benjamin Elliot replaced Mbeumo for his debut, Ignatius Ganago for Olivier Ntcham and Malcom Bokele in place of Oumar Gonzalez.<\/p>\n
However, Cameroon failed to pulled the surprise at the end of the day as they only settled for a draw.<\/p>\n
The last minute equalizer came in from Kevin Gonzalez deep into stoppage time, cancelling Cameroon\u2019s chance of calling it a day of victory once again.<\/p>\n
