00:07 Let's hope it ends with 11 on the pitch at the end of the 90 minutes today.
00:11 There's Cameroon in their traditional, wonderful strip of green jerseys.
00:17 Reg Shawson still on the stands on that far side.
00:20 Now what's the delivery like?
00:22 Excellent delivery and good effort as well.
00:25 Cameroon now with a chance to break through.
00:29 Cham to Magritte.
00:31 Castelletto overlapping, took a little deflection.
00:36 Took it into the grateful arms of Guinea goalkeeper Ibrahim Okone.
00:41 A little bit too heavy the return pass and Mkhudi could cut it out but that's wasteful.
00:48 Into the middle it goes, excellent early chance.
00:51 Good save as well, not clear, that's a solid tackle from Mkhudi.
00:55 And still it's not gone away and Guinea put it in the back of the net.
01:01 And there's no offside flag and that goal is surely going to count.
01:05 And Cameroon simply did not clear their lines.
01:08 Demonstrating with the officials.
01:12 But Guinea, first blood to them.
01:15 And what were Cameroon doing at the back?
01:20 Well for a former defender, in the face of Rigobert Sot, he'll be furious with that.
01:29 Cameroonian players are still complaining to the referee.
01:33 As the celebrations go on.
01:35 Let's have a look and see what went on again because this was a really good strike.
01:40 A good block as well and that was such a solid tackle.
01:44 Here, hesitation, dawdling and he's just simply under pressure and he's given the ball away.
01:51 And that's a good tackle from Cameroon.
01:55 He's just simply under pressure and he's given the ball away.
01:58 And Bayot wasn't going to miss the opportunity, Mohamed Bayot.
02:03 He said there was a lot of pressure on his shoulders.
02:05 And he has delivered excellent, good first time shot.
02:09 There's nothing wrong with that.
02:11 They're claiming that clearly a challenge coming in from behind.
02:14 This one here.
02:17 From Cameron.
02:22 It came to him, he nutmegged the goalkeeper.
02:24 I've seen little from the referee which suggests this goal is not going to stand.
02:31 In fact he has pointed to the spot as of now to confirm it.
02:35 You can hear the roars of the Guinean fans inside the stadium.
02:39 Mainly by the Guinean fans.
02:40 Well, will they be so happy in a minute or two?
02:42 Excellent ball in.
02:43 Castelleto at the back stick.
02:46 Inzwinger towards the penalty spot with a bit of height as well.
02:51 And there it is. Zombo Anguissa again, one of the target men.
02:54 He misses out Zombo Anguissa.
02:57 Pops up on the left flank.
02:58 It's just not breaking for Cameron up front at the moment.
03:03 And Guinea can break here.
03:04 Silla, seeing the keeper off his line.
03:08 That's the sign of confidence through this.
03:13 Guinea inside at present.
03:15 The back peddling on Doha.
03:17 Always eyes on the ball.
03:20 And as soon as he could see the netting he knew that was going over.
03:23 And as the half hour approaches.
03:26 Nkudu swings it in low and hard.
03:29 Could have gone anywhere and instead it just flicked up.
03:34 Nkudu again. This time goes short to Cham.
03:39 Cham with the strike.
03:40 Diokardi.
03:41 With the clearance.
03:45 Good ball into the back post but no one was there.
03:49 And scratches his hands on his thighs.
03:52 Nkudu.
03:53 A little hold up play from him as well.
03:55 And Castelleta tried to feed it back in to Magritte.
03:58 Better from Cameroon that. There was good movement.
04:01 Magritte, there's a little bit of space down the left hand flank if he can find it.
04:07 But Camano clipped him from behind.
04:15 Make sure that Magritte was stopped in his tracks.
04:18 Just about to play it to Topo Akanbi.
04:21 That looks a little nasty as well.
04:26 Studs on the outside of his left boot.
04:30 Is he looking at the first or the second?
04:42 Or is he going to go with both? But that certainly, that first one was a bad challenge on the heel.
04:48 He is saying no. He's gone.
04:52 Francois Camano.
04:55 The 27 year old Guinean captain.
04:58 Is the green head going to get on the end of it? It's deep and it's straight into the arms of Kone.
05:07 And the cheers from the fans of the Sili Nacional ring out around the Yamasucro arena.
05:14 A stamp breaking the back heel of a Cameroonian late in the first half.
05:24 You can see quite clearly how high the Cameroonian players have been pushed.
05:31 That's a good ball in for Mokudu.
05:33 And that's a goal for Cameroon.
05:36 And it's Magri at the back stick.
05:38 With his second goal for his country.
05:40 Who brings Cameroon level against 10 man Guinea.
05:43 And not for the first time today.
05:46 Mokudu puts in a wicked delivery.
05:49 And on this occasion there is a Cameroonian head on the end of it.
05:52 He gets some reward for his tireless work.
05:55 And Magri did really well to steer that back from where it came.
05:59 Beating Kone.
06:01 And Cameroon's first shot on target.
06:05 And this was all about the delivery on the cross.
06:08 Watch this from Mokudu.
06:10 Lovely bend.
06:11 And he just wanted it more.
06:13 Rose above his opposite number, Magri.
06:16 And it was just a wonderful cross.
06:21 And a really good header as well.
06:23 Down into the ground.
06:25 Over the flailing arms of Kone.
06:27 He wasn't a million miles away from getting something on it, Ibrahim Kone.
06:34 Excellent goal.
06:35 What you're always taught to do.
06:37 Put it back from where it came.
06:39 He did exactly that, Magri.
06:40 And he's been rewarded.
06:42 For his efforts with his second Cameroonian goal.
06:48 And he enjoyed it.
06:51 That is two goals in five games now for Cameroon.
06:53 Just a moment or two ago.
06:55 Mokudu hits it.
06:56 But high and over.
06:58 2017.
07:00 Will they win it again in 2023?
07:03 Mokudu swings it in.
07:04 Grace to Kemop.
07:06 Topr can be back in the middle.
07:12 And it's going to fall to Mokudu.
07:14 He's got Jongwo on his left.
07:17 He chooses not to use it.
07:18 Cham from distance.
07:20 Good strike from Cham.
07:21 But always rising.
07:23 Gives the space down that right-hand side.
07:25 Good swing in it to Mokudu.
07:27 He's got a connection.
07:28 Castelleto first time cross.
07:35 That's a good one as well.
07:36 Mokudu couldn't get anything on it.
07:38 Topr Akambi sets it up.
07:40 And that is blazed over.
07:43 Just wasn't seen.
07:45 Faris Mdanya.
07:52 The substitute.
07:54 He's going to add some bodies in there.
07:59 Can that make the difference?
08:01 He's low and hard.
08:05 He's a little bit behind.
08:06 Topr Akambi.
08:07 Chance for Topr Akambi.
08:08 Super save from Kone.
08:09 Well, he did have his chance.
08:13 Stiller.
08:16 Back into Mareeba.
08:19 He can let fly from here.
08:21 And he does.
08:23 I suspect there will be inquests into this Cameroon display.
08:27 And the tactics.
08:28 Because the final whistle has blown.
08:30 Look at that reaction from the man who was sent off.
08:33 Kamano.
08:34 Pure relief for him.
08:36 Because the indomitable lions.
08:38 The five-time African champions.
