Despite being undefeated since the beginning of the Africa World Cup qualifiers in Group I, Libya suffered a defeat this Sunday in Yaoundé during the last match of Group I against Cameroon, who emerged victorious with a 1-0 scoreline. Cameroon’s win secured their advancement to the playoff stage.
The Indomitable Lions, revitalized in the group after Togo’s points withdrawal, took full advantage of the opportunity and triumphed over Libya. The decisive goal of the match was scored by Aurélien Chedjou, the Galatasaray defender, who received praise for his solid performance.
However, the victory came at a cost for Cameroon, as Samuel Eto’o had to leave the field due to injury around the hour mark. Additionally, in the first half, Jean II Makoun had already been substituted due to ankle pain. Despite these setbacks, Cameroon secured the win and progressed to the playoffs.
