00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 Abu Bakar, 1-1, no doubt about that.
00:12 Goalkeeper went the wrong way.
00:14 Abu Bakar, as cool as a cucumber.
00:18 And Cameroon are back in this game.
00:26 Fairtrade trail rate now has an assist at both ends,
00:31 if you see what I mean.
00:31 Stop-start approach by Abu Bakar.
00:39 Come at the hour, go for that spot.
00:49 He puts it to the other side.
00:51 Genius.
00:52 Cool as your life.
00:54 Abu Bakar, second penalty for Cameroon.
00:59 Gets the Odometomo Lions a 2-1 lead to take in at halftime.
01:06 Delirious scenes in the crowd.
01:09 Disbelief in the Burkina Faso defense.
01:13 2-1 on the score sheet.
01:17 Moldao's challenge is clumsy, but the ball had gone.
01:24 Once again, stop-start.
01:31 He is the master of that approach.
01:33 And look, he's not even looking.
01:35 Keeps his eye on the goalkeeper.
01:37 But he's on loan at Napoli this season.
01:47 Now, here they come, the Odometomo Lions.
01:49 Three weight in the middle, including Abu Bakar.
01:52 What power on that header.
01:54 So simple.
01:56 You don't give this man opportunities like that,
02:00 he will punish you.
02:01 And Vansant Abu Bakar has already got three goals now
02:05 in this tournament.
02:06 Open play now, a big smile from Vansant Abu Bakar.
02:11 Look how easy it was, though.
02:13 It just floated up there.
02:15 Got super power on that header.
02:19 Once again, Collins Fye provides the cross,
02:22 as he did for the goal from Toko Ikambe.
02:24 You wonder who the Opius defense might have done a little bit
02:31 better, both the two center backs who
02:33 allowed the space for Abu Bakar and the goalkeeper.
02:37 But that header came in with lots of power and position
02:41 as well, and a deserved goal.
02:45 There's a lot of work still to come,
02:47 you fancy, from some of the bigger teams.
02:49 Cameroon storming now.
02:51 They are going to put this one to bed.
02:55 Who had the last touch there?
02:56 I fancy Abu Bakar.
02:57 There might have been a defender ahead of him,
02:59 but he's going to claim it.
03:01 Vansant Abu Bakar with a second of the night.
03:05 Cameroon with a third.
03:09 After that first half performance,
03:11 but really looked to have lost it here in the second.
03:14 It looks as if Abu Bakar got the touch ahead of the defender.
03:18 We'll certainly credit him with that goal, he deserves it.
03:22 This time, Mooney with a cross.
03:24 Yeah, Abu Bakar with a touch.
03:27 Cameroon three, Ethiopia one.
03:31 Vansant Abu Bakar with four goals now in this tournament.
03:36 Marching on to--
03:39 Mooney.
03:40 Chance for Abu Bakar.
03:42 Goal, number five of the tournament.
03:48 And the big man is carrying his country
03:51 into the quarterfinals.
03:52 He's happy about that.
03:59 Haven't looked particularly sharp in the game today,
04:01 but set piece, loose ball, no second imitation needed.
04:08 It's a left-footed finish as well from Abu Bakar.
04:12 Three defenders.
04:13 There we get a-- not a bad one from Didi Borges.
04:22 But look at Abu Bakar.
04:24 Along the ground, in the back of the net,
04:26 classic striker's goal.
04:28 And you can see why he is so valuable to his country.
04:37 Leading from the front.
04:39 Nations Cup history that the hosts
04:41 have met a debutant in the knockout round.
04:44 They've got a chance here.
04:45 Abu Bakar.
04:46 And somehow it does find its way past Al Atour.
04:50 Six for the tournament for Vansant Abu Bakar.
04:54 A second for Cameroon.
04:57 And the relief is just as strong as the delight
05:02 inside the Olympe Stadium.
05:05 The goalkeeper's been beaten again.
05:07 And now Cameroon can start thinking about that quarterfinal
05:14 against Gambier in five days' time.
05:18 Lovely run from Abu Bakar.
05:21 And one-on-one with a man who usually plays outfield.
05:27 It's never going to end well for Comoros when it's Vansant Abu Bakar
05:33 in front of their goalkeeper.
05:35 Easy finish from the Cameroon captain,
05:39 who's already full of confidence.
05:42 Here for Betis' final race.
05:44 All strapped up.
05:45 Ball comes in.
05:46 And there is the goal the goalkeeper wanted that time.
05:49 And it's the top scorer in the competition,
05:52 Vansant Abu Bakar, who scores his seventh goal.
05:56 And Queen, how are you doing in training last five minutes?
06:00 What do we VAR is looking at this.
06:02 For a potential foul, I think.
06:05 Well, it's not a foul.
06:07 It's OK.
06:08 It's not the right-back.
06:10 And then the back of the gear.
06:12 Is it an obvious error?
06:30 3-2.
06:31 An opportunity for Eric Traore with his first touch of the game.
06:40 Long ball forward.
06:42 Farid Wajdrago has got up.
06:44 And a ball has been put in the back of the net.
06:46 Is it going to be a foul?
06:47 Or will Vansant Abu Bakar have his eighth goal of the campaign?
06:51 Now it's the turn of the Burkina Faso players
06:54 to show that kind of emotion.
06:56 Long ball forward.
06:58 Farid Wajdrago goes over his own player.
07:02 And Cameroon are level 3-3.
07:08 Incredible scenes here.
07:10 No foul.
07:14 Vansant Abu Bakar was just there to pick up the pieces.
07:27 Astonishing.
07:28 Astonishing.
07:30 Quarter-finale.
07:32 23rd goal that Cameroon have scored in their seven matches.
07:41 They have been the entertainers.
07:43 Even against Egypt they had their chances, they just didn't take them.
07:50 But Burkina Faso here have gifted them a route back in.
07:54 The walk scenes here in Yoyunde.
07:59 Burkina Faso.
08:02 (explosion)
