    FT: Gambia 0-2 Cameroon!! All over in Douala and the hosts make the semis after outplaying their opponents. Ekambi's double in the 50th and 57th minutes were more than enough for Cameroon. Gambia didn't threaten the Cameroon goal and this was a step too far for them. Thanks for joining us and see you shortly for Burkina Faso v Tunisia!
  • 93'
    Another chance for Cameroon for Aboubakar, but it's blocked.
  • 91'
    Three added minutes.
  • 90'
    It looks like the change was allowed as Ngamaleu had already gone off, but the new man wasn't allowed on for some odd reason. All a bit messy.
  • 89'
    The fourth official is speaking to the ref here as the ref restarted play for about 30 seconds and then allowed this change! Bassogog replaced Ngamaleu.
  • 88'
    Cameroon wanted to make a double sub, but could only make one and the coach can't make the fifth as three windows have been used! Neyou replaced Zanguissa.

    Cameroon sub: Mbaizo on for Fai.
  • 83'
    Fai is down here and he doesn't feel well. I think he's dehydrated and he is going off.
  • 82'
    Gambia sub: Jobe is on for Marreh.

    Cameroon double sub: Ekambi and Hongla are replaced by Clinton and Kunde.
  • 79'
    The result is not in doubt here. The hosts will be in the last four and I think this will end 2-0.
  • 76'
    Another effort for Hongla, but it's regulation for the GK.
  • 75'
    Ngamaleu shoots, but it's easy for the GK.
  • 72'
    Aboubakar looks for a third from outside the box, but can't find the target.
  • 71'
    Ngamaleu attempts to win the corner off Sundberg, but fails to do so.
  • 69'
    There are shouts of a handball in the box, but the ref says no to Gambia's appeals.
  • 68'
    Modou Barrow tries to keep the ball in play which he does and the ball went into Onana's hands. I think that's his first touch.
  • 66'
    Attempts: 0-12. No corners for Gambia either.
  • 65'
    Colley defends well and wins himself a free-kick.
  • 61'
    Cameroon are in complete control here. In all honesty, this has been a very one sided contest.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!

  • 57'
    Ekambi makes it 0-2!!! The move starts at midfield, the ball is given to Hongla who squares for Ekambi to tap in!
  • 55'
    Gambia triple sub: Modou Barrow, Ebrima Colley and Daboe on for Jagne, Modou and Badammosi.
  • 53'
    Fai!!! What a chance! He's played in and he blazes wide from a tight angle!
  • 51'
    You have to say that's fully deserved.

  • 46'
    Gambia get us going again!
  • 45'
    HT: Gambia 0-0 Cameroon! Half-time in Douala and Cameroon have been the better team. Aboubakar had the clearest chance when he headed at the GK from point blank range while the captain on another occasion and Fai had good sights of goal. Gambia have done little as an attacking force so far. Back for more shortly!
  • 45'
    Cameroon are caught offside.
  • 45'
    One added minute.
  • 42'
    Cameroon cross one in and Colley heads away the danger.

  • 40'
    Gaye is booked for timewasting in the 40th minute! I think that's harsh, to be honest.
  • 36'
    What a save by the GK to deny Aboubakar!! Oum Gouet puts in a terrific cross and Aboubakar's header is saved from point blank range!
  • 34'
    Castelletto sees an acrobatic effort blocked by Gomes for a corner.
  • 32'
    Modou goes in late on Ngamaleu as his name taken. The ball is near the corner flag.
  • 31'
    Aboubakar!! Castelletto's cross finds the captain in the box and he heads wide of the goal! Good chance.
  • 29'
    Fai!!! The Cameroon man goes for goal from distance and the ball hits the net, but it's the sidenetting!
  • 27'
    Cameroon are dominating possession here.
  • 24'
    Ngamaleu wins the corner.
  • 24'
    Gambia play a ball forward for Badammosi, but he can't reach it. Was off anyway.

    Cameroon are hosting the tournament so they are obviously at home, but strangely, Cameroon are the away team for this one... When we mention the hosts or the home side, we will be referring to Cameroon.
