00:00It's the final match from Group F before we start to lick our lips and enter the world of knockout football, of course, in the round of 16.
00:13Formation here with Ratifa, who started the opening game that they lost, of course, up front with Gildo.
00:21And Brian Mbema, also sitting on a yellow card, starts this match today.
00:2719 years of age, Christian Kofane up front.
00:293, 2, 1, C.
00:35Well, let's get this party started here in Agadir with Mozambique playing in red against Cameroon, playing in white.
00:43Yeah, he's going to be assisting in a big way, isn't he, Brian Mbema?
00:50Wonderful player who grew up, who was born in France and grew up in Burgundy.
00:56He started playing for Twa.
00:59There's the little kick through and there's defensive work.
01:02Edmilson, it's been picked up, Cameroon with a chance, and they haven't managed to clear it.
01:08There's the lofted ball over into the hands of Ur-Rabal.
01:10Not that I know too much about rocket science, to be honest with you.
01:15Here's the lofted free kick into the penalty area.
01:18They're going for a header there.
01:19It goes over the chop.
01:20It has been picked up there.
01:22Gildo's demand high ball over the chop.
01:23Oh, a little bit of spillage and a chance there for Mozambique.
01:27He very nearly pounced Manuel Kambala and a little bit of a loss of possession there for Rodgers.
01:34A passy, a rare mistake, in fact.
01:38That's a wonderful deep ball as well.
01:39Picked up by the danger man.
01:41Gede gets the ball across.
01:42Oh, the attempted shot and passy picks it up once again.
01:46Danger on that far side.
01:47Yeah, I think as I expected, Khalila just taking a knock maybe off that hamstring.
01:57Dispossessed by Mbumo.
01:58Mbumo sends it through.
02:00There's a great chance with a goal.
02:01What a save that is from Ur-Rabal.
02:04And he comes to the rescue to deny.
02:08And Christian Kofan was sent through by Mbumo.
02:12The timing of his run was, well, perfect.
02:16Right-footed shot, but look what Ur-Rabal.
02:19He came out, smothered, got in the way.
02:22It comes off his chest.
02:23And that's a brilliant save.
02:25Great anticipation.
02:26He leaves the line very early, sensing the day.
02:28Be brave.
02:33Here's the resulting corner.
02:35Comes up, headed away in the middle by Chamboko.
02:38Oh, it's a little bit of pressure here.
02:41But Cameroon still collecting it.
02:43There's the ball that's sent in by Nagida.
02:46Around the edge of the penalty box.
02:49Guido again.
02:50There's the delivery.
02:51Oh, there's an option at the back.
02:53Oh, it's the first touch, not the right one.
02:56Oh, it's come across.
02:57There's Cameroon with a great chance.
02:59And again, you can see that the danger man, Kofan, for the net.
03:02I don't know what he's doing at the back at Mielsen, but he's allowing everybody to get hold of the ball.
03:09And that should have been cleared.
03:11It should have been kicked out.
03:12I'm always keeping an eye out for Genny.
03:14Genny on that right side.
03:15Just watch out.
03:16I know he's coming up against Tolo Nuhu, who is the captain.
03:18And by no means the weakest of obstacles that you'll face in your career.
03:27He is as solid as can be.
03:28But you've got to be careful.
03:30Here he is, Genny.
03:30Genny on the left foot.
03:31He goes to a shot.
03:32Look at that goal.
03:34Oh, my.
03:35He comes across.
03:36He goes to a left foot.
03:38It's strike.
03:40Absolutely incredible.
03:43How on earth do you stop that?
03:46No one saw it coming.
03:50Top quality from Genny.
03:55And a 1-0 lead for Mozambique.
03:59A moment of magic.
04:02Glorious Genny.
04:05Sees the members strike and offer them a 1-0 advantage.
04:09Amanda, look at that.
04:12Beautiful.
04:12Well taken from Genny.
04:14Spoke about the key battle on this right side where he's coming from.
04:18Quick acceleration into that final third.
04:21Drop of the shoulder and calls it to the front.
04:23Shots three and four.
04:27Whoa.
04:31Nice touch.
04:32And Chamboko sends the ball up.
04:36That's an attempt at the angled header towards Genny.
04:39And Ratifo putting a bit of pressure on the knee MC.
04:44But Cameroon happy to start from the back.
04:49Slowly builds up.
04:51But look at this block.
04:52They're really covering every position.
04:54They just need to be careful for Nikita who's out wide and ready to go on a little bit of a move.
04:59But you can see that Chamboko is coming across.
05:01Sorry, Nanani.
05:05The run.
05:06There's the run.
05:07It's a good run as well.
05:08Great opportunity.
05:09The touch.
05:10It's gone down.
05:11Oh, it's in the back of the net.
05:12There's the goal.
05:13Oh, it's stopped.
05:13Stopped on the line.
05:15Oh, it's been kicked in.
05:16And an 0-goal has been scored by Nene.
05:19Couldn't clear the ball.
05:21And a goal for Cameroon.
05:24An equaliser.
05:25The pressure cooker situation for Group F battle.
05:30Onside as he races through.
05:34And two players.
05:36Oh, he went flying over the chops.
05:38They're off the post.
05:39And the first shot.
05:43There you go.
05:43There's Kofan who flies over the chop.
05:47Magri gets the chance to shoot.
05:52His effort comes off the left post.
05:55After getting deflected there.
05:57By Nene.
05:58Just look at that.
05:59That's so unfortunate, Amanda.
06:00Very unfortunate.
06:03Cameroon picking the ball up.
06:05Well, it's been sent through very quickly.
06:06There's the danger.
06:07He's got past his man.
06:08Goal number two for Cameroon.
06:11But the flag has gone up for Christian Kofan.
06:17A fraction offside.
06:20I mean, I saw that, Amanda.
06:21Did you see it?
06:23I didn't see that one.
06:26That's it.
06:27He's just tucked himself behind his man.
06:31Chamboko.
06:38What a fabulous, entertaining first 45 from a team who have never won before.
06:49Yeah, we spoke about just how critical Buma is to the team.
06:54Whether the coach will start with him from the bench or will start him in the starting lineup.
07:00And I think a good choice to really give him 45 minutes to get out on the run and probably rest him.
07:05Smart move.
07:06Smart move.
07:12Watch out for the movement.
07:14Mr. Awu has come up as well.
07:16Macri tries to go front post.
07:18It's been something that they've tried to do on numerous occasions.
07:22Ball comes back to the left-hand side.
07:23Nice lofted ball.
07:24Comes up.
07:25There's a chance for Folli.
07:26Oh, he makes a complete hash of it at the back.
07:29Kofan.
07:30But it's been drilled back.
07:31There's the shot that comes in.
07:32Taken well by Arubal.
07:34And the idea was good.
07:37But finally, Kandem loves to hang around loose on the edge of the penalty box to try and get in the way.
07:44Pick up the loose ball.
07:45That was the botched attempt by Christian Kofan.
07:50A little nudge in the back coming from Naguida over on that far side.
07:54And it will be a free kick for Mozambique.
07:58We're still holding Cameroon.
08:03And Rigobertsong at the back there, of course.
08:06Samuel Eto'o.
08:06Oh, they've given the ball away.
08:08It's Cameroon on the attack onto the right foot.
08:10There's a shot.
08:10Oh, look at that rocket.
08:13What a rocket.
08:14Kofan.
08:16Kofan time.
08:18What an incredible rocket strike it was.
08:27He nearly tore the post out of the ground.
08:31Oh.
08:31Sensational.
08:32Oh.
08:34It doesn't get better than that.
08:36He's 19.
08:3819.
08:40Cameroon take the lead.
08:41And it's something special coming from the Bayer Leverkusen man.
08:48Pinses the ball.
08:49Puts it on his right foot.
08:51And how about that?
08:52That is one of the best shots that you'll see all year.
09:01Qualities of a good striker.
09:03Kofan.
09:04Well, he's playing with authority, isn't he?
09:06Dina Mbibic for his first cap playing for Cameroon.
09:10When you're making calls like that, it means that you're serious.
09:13This is a downward header.
09:14Another follow-up shot.
09:15What a save.
09:16What a fabulous save that was from Urubal.
09:19Let's just have a look at this again.
09:22The high ball comes up.
09:24That is a brilliant header there from Niamsi.
09:27And then the follow-up shots stopped by Urubal.
09:30So, this is always the danger with the tactic of defending maybe a corner.
09:38You don't have the ability to track the runners.
09:41Another high ball coming over the top.
09:42Another dangerous situation.
09:44Oh, it's parried away there by Urubal.
09:47And another header this time coming from Dina Mbibic.
09:50Dian Kofan.
09:51Unbelievable strike to offer Cameroon the lead.
09:55Just to finish off, we've got Egypt against Benin.
09:59Amanda Delamini and myself will be commentating that match
10:02because it's taking place here on the 5th of January here in Agadea, Nigeria,
10:06against the third team in this group, which at the moment Mozambique.
10:10And then the winner of Group F, which at the moment is Cameroon,
10:15taking up the runner-up in Group E, which is Burkina Faso.
10:20And then Algeria against Dior Kongo in Rabat at the Nassana Stadium.
10:27Oh, the chance, the opportunity.
10:30It's another one of those misses.
10:32What's going wrong?
10:33What's wrong with the boots?
10:35Unbelievable.
10:36Bondi had the open shot on goal.
10:41We've gone past the four-minute mark.
10:43It's all over.
10:45Cameroon take three points here against Mozambique.
10:51And a guaranteed second or first place.
10:53At the moment it's second.
10:54It's by two.
