Onana's nightmare AFCON: 0 saves and dropped to bench after dispute with Samuel Eto'o

Cameroon, with much suffering, reached the round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations. The Indomitable Lions managed to turn the match around against Gambia (2-3), which put them on the ropes. Rigobert Song's side took a risk by leaving Andre Onana out of the starting XI.

The Manchester United goalkeeper's place in the lineup was taken by Fabrice Ondoa, who plays for Nîmes in the French 3rd Division (National). The goalkeeper was quite good despite conceding two goals and was more solid than his team-mate in the previous match.

It should be remembered that Onana, who travelled to the tournament at the last minute on a private jet and missed the first match, played the second match against Senegal, where he conceded 3 goals and left a terrible statistic: 0% of saves completed. The coach's response was to leave him on the bench and the Cameroonian did not take it well, as he found out on Tuesday morning.

This was reported by 'Sport News Africa' journalist Mansour Loum, who even pointed out a run-in between the goalkeeper and Samuel Eto'o, the president of the Federation. The goalkeeper got heated and said a few words to the president, who didn't even speak.
