How Nigeria Packed Cameroon Out Of AFCON
By Emmanuel Aziken
Arsenal ace, Alex Iwobi sent sorrow across Cameroon when he latched on to an Odion Ighalo tap to ensure another Nigeria defeat of our eastern neighbour in the ongoing African Cup of Nations tournament.
Nigeria went through to the quarter finals 3-2 after Cameroon snatched the lead from Nigeria with two quick goals after the Ighalo opener in the 19th minute.
It was 2-1 in favour of Cameroon at the break before Ighalo equalised for Nigeria with about 20 minutes to go.
That was before Iwobi made it three. A fourth was parried by the Cameroon goalkeeper while another Ighalo attempt hit the woodwork.
Nigeria will meet the winner of the ongoing match between South Africa and host Egypt to move to the semi-finals.
