"The 26-year-old provided the assist for Karl Etta Eyong in Cameroon's 1-0 win over Gabon in their opening group match, with his display certainly catching the eye. He created six chances against Gabon, becoming the third Cameroonian player to create as many chances in a single AFCON game since that data became available in 2010, after Georges‑Kevin Nkoudou against Guinea in January 2024 (seven) and Benjamin Moukandjo against Guinea‑Bissau in January 2017."
""He's putting too much pressure on himself, but I think he will manage that. He's a great footballer, a great player, even for this country," Pagou told reporters. "He loves this team and really wants to commit to being as effective as possible. "So today, again, in our little chat with him, the desire is there, to be present, to step up, and to do great things.""
Bryan Mbeumo has made 29 appearances for Cameroon since his 2022 debut and scored seven goals. This tournament marks his first AFCON. He assisted Karl Etta Eyong in Cameroon's 1-0 opening win over Gabon and created six chances in that match, ranking third among Cameroonians for chances created in a single AFCON game since 2010. Mbeumo leads the tournament for chances created across the first two matchdays and ranks highly for passes into the box and expected assists. He appears to be placing excessive pressure on himself while remaining committed to being effective. Cameroon face Mozambique in their final Group F game.
