Zapping Eleven Mondial CAN 2021: the expectations of the Algerian people
Cameroon and the entire Olembé stadium, after a magnificent opening ceremony, experienced a real cold shower shortly before the half hour of the game. After a start to the match that the Cameroonians tried to control without hitting the opposing goal , it was Gustavo Sangaré who opened the scoring to everyone’s surprise, taking advantage of a cross from the right and especially a failed exit from Onana to score the first goal of this CAN 2021 (0-1, 27th) .
Conceiçao’s men, despite this big blow, had the merit of reacting and managed to equalize before the break. The intervention of the VAR, used for the first time in CAN at the start of the competition, allowed the referee to signal an indisputable penalty for a foul by Bertrand Traoré on Zambo Anguissa. Vincent Aboubakar transformed the penalty (1-1, 42nd) to hand over the Indomitable Lions … before obtaining a second for a largely avoidable fault, and to be just as precise against the opposing goalkeeper (2-1, 45 + 2e).
to summarize
Cameroon managed to react to Burkina Faso after conceding the opener. Two penalties helped turn things around before the break! Vincent Aboubakar succeeded in transforming his two attempts!
