Africa Cup of Nations standings
Another amazing encounter with Vincent Aboubakar.
Author of a double against Burkina Faso, the center-forward of the Indomitable Lions put the cover back against Ethiopia.
The captain once again offered himself a double in the second period (53, 55th) thanks to Collins Fai then Ngamaleu.
Despite his two goals, Aboubakar will have shown the example to his partners by his strength of character and his sense of goal which allows him to be at the same time, the top scorer of this African Cup of Nations (4 goals) .
A driving force that undoubtedly marks this competition.
Precious Toko Ekambi
The click for Karl Toko Ekambi.
Finally a major performance for the center forward of Olympique Lyonnais with his selection.
In this match, we will have seen a powerful player relying on his speed to make a difference.
By bringing his team to the score moments after conceding the first goal, Toko Ekambi freed himself from the weight placed on his shoulders.
With an interesting attacking copy, the 29-year-old showed that he had his place as an indisputable starter.
A second goal will close his almost perfect copy.
Big Toko in Olembé this afternoon.
FLOPS
Choupo-Moting inside
A difficult return to competition for Eric Choupo-Moting.
Injured since November, the Cameroonian striker imposed his physique against the Ethiopian defenders but he lacked presence in the opposing area.
Lacking in rhythm, he relieved his two attacking teammates by taking the ball with his back to goal but did not convince during this outing.
His coach left him on the field for an hour of play. Not in top form, Choupo-Moting must be patient to be present and on time for the round of 16 meeting.
Ethiopian defense struggling
Wubetu Abate's men completely lost track of the game after returning from the locker room.
By undergoing the Cameroonian waves, the central defenders of Ethiopia were late on each of the opposing offensives.
As evidenced by the two goals of Aboubakar and that of Toko Ekambi, all in the second period.
The goalkeeper of the Ethiopian selection Shanko only saw the damage. With four goals conceded, the score is heavy for a team that held the match by the good end at the end of the first act.
To resume against Burkina Faso.
