""I must confess that I didn't make any calculations," said Pagou, who took over at the start of this month. "We are in our own lane and we don't know who is or is not coming [in the knockout stage]. We know Mozambique are a very complex and difficult team to play against.""
""This group deserves it," said manager Chiquinho Conde, who oversaw a group-stage exit with a point at the 2023 finals. "Wow - we have been through so many difficulties and so many adversities to arrive here and achieve something so great when people least expect it.""
Mozambique secured their first-ever AFCON win by beating Gabon and hold a guaranteed place in the last 16 with one group match remaining. A victory over Cameroon would alter Mozambique's last-16 opponent from Nigeria to one of South Africa, Burkina Faso or Sudan. Cameroon earned a win and a draw to sit level on points and tiebreakers at the top of Group F. Junior Tchamadeu's shot led to an own goal against Ivory Coast and the Stoke City right-back faces suspension for accumulated bookings. Cameroon are without Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa through injury, and both coaches may rotate players for the final group match.
