Cameroon got the job done in front of their home fans. Facing Namibia in Douala on Thursday, November 12, the Indomitable Lions secured a 2-0 victory on matchday three of the AFCON 2027 qualifiers.

Alioum and Nsongo strike in the first half

Cameroon were quick to take control of the match. In the 16th minute, Saidou Alioum opened the scoring from an assist by Angel Yondjo, rewarding the Lions’ strong start. Thirteen minutes later, Cameroon doubled their lead. In the 29th minute, Bil Nsongo Tonfack finished off a move started by Bryan Mbeumo to make it 2-0.

Despite a few attempts, Namibia were unable to pull a goal back before the break. The Indomitable Lions therefore went into the dressing room with a two-goal lead. After the break, David Pagou’s men focused primarily on managing their advantage. Namibia tried to respond, but Cameroon’s defence remained solid. The score did not change before the final whistle, as the Lions recorded a clean-sheet victory.
