The 33rd African Championship is underway. 

Tonight (Sunday) host Cameron defeated Boricana Passo 1: 2 in the opening game of the tournament and set up a good advance for the sequel.

The opening belonged to the guest, who took the lead in the 24th minute.

Gustavo Sangara took advantage of a bad exit from Andre Onana to push in the goal gate - which is also the first goal scored in the tournament.

Cameron did not say desperate and managed to turn around even before the break.

Vincent Abubkar scored twice from the penalty spot, in the 40th minute and again within the extra time of the first half, lowered Cameron by a 1: 2 advantage at the break and as mentioned, the result was maintained for the end of the game.

An incident that slightly clouded the game occurred in the first minute, when 40 seconds from the start, Boricana Passo's stopper, Steve Yago, slid in disarray with both feet towards Collins Pie, but the referee contented himself with issuing him only a yellow card. 

And of course it is impossible not to be impressed by the spectacular ceremony at the opening of the tournament.

It will no doubt be interesting in the near future.
