Cameroon has knocked South Africa out of the Africa Cup of Nations after a 2–1 victory in their round of 16 match at the Agdal Medina Stadium in Rabat. The five-time champions took control of the high-tempo encounter, capitalising on South Africa’s missed chances in the first half.
Defender Junior Tchamadeu opened the scoring in the 34th minute with a low finish from a deflected cross, before Christian Kofane doubled Cameroon’s lead with a header from Mahamadou Nagida’s delivery. South Africa pulled one back late on through Evidence Makgopa, who converted from close range two minutes from time.
