After the victory of Burundi over Namibia (3-2), Cameroon is oblige to beat Burundi next September 04 to qualify for the competition.
Having the chance to be included in a group containing 03 teams after the suspension of Kenya due to the interference of their government, Cameroon had beforehand the way marked out to be the first African tenor to obtain its qualification.
After starting with a victory, last July 09, against Burundi (0-1) in Bujumbura the indomitable lions had all the cards in hand since a little earlier on July 04 the Burundians had left for Windhoek to play a precious draw (1-1).
During the double confrontation against a very modest Namibia team, the Cameroonians were unable to pocket the 03 points at home on March 24, 2023. They were hooked by the Namibians Yaoundé (1-1). Against all odds, they will be defeated by the same Namibian team 04 days later in Windhoek (2-1), on the 28th.
This Tuesday, June 20, Namibia (05 points) moved to face Burundi (01 points). Cameroon (04 points) being exempt.The victory of Burundians (3-2) over Namibians kept their chances of qualification intact. It was Bigirimina who had the score from the 1st minute before Bimenyimana doubled the bet in the 9th minute.(2-0)
Shabani scored the 3rd goal in the 19th minute (3-0). But it was without counting on the tenacity of the Namibians who reduced the score through Shalulile in the 41st (3-1). At the very end of the match, Rudath scored the 2nd Namibian goal at the 85th (3-2).
Thus, Namibia (05 points) will have to wait for the outcome of the Cameroon (04 points) match vs Burundi match (04 points) match to find out if they will be in Ivory Coast or not. A Burundian victory will eliminate Cameroon from the while a victory of the indomitable lions will also qualify Namibia. In the event of a draw between Cameroon and Burundi , all 03 teams will have 05 points and will be separated by goal-average which seems to be unfavorable for Cameroon at the moment due to the number of goals scored by Namibia and Burundi.
On September 04th, the defeat or draw is therefore forbidden to the indomitable lions.
For many Cameroonians fans, there is no doubt that this cloudy passage will soon be dissipated for the lions to qualify, as many are looking forward to seeing a Cameroon vs Ivory Coast duel in Abidjan.
