"It was a frantic encounter from the off and less than two minutes had elapsed before Konan hit the bar with a cross that eluded Cameroon goalkeeper Devis Epassy. Cameroon had the better chances as the half progressed, Darlin Yongwa stealing in at the far post and hitting a volley into the sidenetting before Tchamadeu's cross from the right was turned goalward by Christian Kofane, bringing out a brilliant fingertip save from Ivory Coast goalkeeper Yahia Fofana as he deflected it on to the bar."
"The second half got off to a frantic start with both teams missing wonderful opportunities. First, Danny Namaso shot over the bar after the Ivory Coast defence had made a mess of attempting to stop Bryan Mbeumo's left-wing cross. At the other end, Franck Kessie saw his volley ruled out for offside after he had latched on to Bayo's clever knockdown. Kessie then deflected Namaso's shot on to the bar before the game's opening goal finally arrived via a touch of class from Amad."
Cameroon and Ivory Coast played to a 1-1 draw in Marrakesh, leaving both teams on four points in Group F. Amad Diallo opened the scoring after 51 minutes, running on to Ghislain Konan's pass, cutting in and curling a left-footed shot into the corner. Five minutes later Junior Tchamadeu's drive deflected off Konan to level for Cameroon. The match featured early drama with Konan hitting the bar inside two minutes and Yahia Fofana producing a fingertip save onto the bar. Both sides created numerous chances, and Cameroon arguably had the better opportunities overall.
