00:03so for the Dominican Republic of Congo this is a fight for survival in this
00:08tournament and for Cameroon an opportunity to secure it not only playoffs
00:13but a potential into the automatics depending on how the other fixture goes
00:22looks like we have a Cameroon going from the right to left on our screen in the green and
00:28red shorts and then the DR Congo going from the cross in actually when it was in the middle of
00:35the
00:35park I thought it was going to be a bit more a bite through the center he sent it out
00:40wide and I felt
00:41like that just lost out on a bit of momentum speaking of momentum here Mbombo steals the ball
00:46goes for the shot it was tame it was easy and a furious loco next to him rush will be
00:53two down
00:54heartened there's a lovely ball over the top over to Musso he puts the first time cross into the front
00:59post and the keeper gathers up relatively easily two players looking for the ball and one person
01:05obviously getting the ball first as Congo look to flick it on and good sweeping up there
01:11by the defense there's an opportunity here can they spring an attack no good defending
01:17poor hold at play good defending you choose which one you want to decide that to but he's done very
01:22well actually in the end the number 15 center back that is
01:32Massacon and actually carry the ball then a little bit further forward found the winger didn't actually
01:38come to anything so his whack is going to be a little bit painful especially considering that
01:43his teammates simply take advantage Massacon with loads of time and space to bring that down
01:47doesn't use his midfield and now he does there's lots of space through the center he tries to ping it
01:51throw is there going to be a chance oh that's very close throughout the area Cameroon players are
01:56appealing for it I think there may well be yes there is
02:06so referee Alhaji Sai will end up moving over to the monitor and he'll make his own mind up giving
02:13the replays in the replays in front of him I'm not entirely sure if we get the replays we do
02:22so this is the build up loads of space for the middle there the ball could have been a little
02:26bit better but I understand the rush nature of him wanting to get there oh now is that ball over
02:31the
02:31line I tell you what that's close his feet are definitely over the line he's going to have a decision
02:36to make here
02:41that's going to be very tight to call you can see the ball makes contact with the line
02:47whether or not his momentum I was proven wrong on that occasion let's listen
03:02so the decision is that it was as a consequence
03:16and then again there's even more contact with the head
03:20as the ball was lofted in try and force Congo to uh to press him instead of the rest of
03:28the team
03:29launches it forward in the end it does make a little bit scrappy nature and I think there's
03:32going to be a corner at the end of it yes there is so uh left back so he's out
03:36of position for where
03:37they gave the ball away and that's a shot on goal first one I think we really had
03:43and it was in Bombo a bit of a snapshot we had a shot earlier
03:53so Musa with the throw in are we going to see a long one no it's directed down into the
03:57floor no
03:58foul throw though this time first time cross in almost went out of play some of the Congolese players
04:03did try and signal that it went out of play it's not the best clearance off the line the goalkeeper
04:07came
04:07rushing out and Cameroon have their best chance of the game the goalkeeper Mambo turns out as to
04:16being favorites uh Congo have had the better chances Cameroon have probably had more of the ball
04:21I would say Congo are definitely scrapped in midfield a lot harder they've provided they've proved
04:27themselves capable of winning the ball back but not capable of really turning it into anything
04:32with much teeth uh having said that the ball is bouncing around inside the Cameroon goal
04:37area and the goalkeeper does well to come out and claim that
04:43Kingu because of Congo for that title
04:48it's again an opportunity for Cameroon to try and break forward but uh Dominican Republic of Congo
04:54players stepping over but for not long enough and on the stroke of half time this could be
04:58Cameroon's best opportunity cuts it back good search good save there in the end it's come back out and
05:03it is 1-0 Cameroon it's not been a half to remember but it's a half where Cameroon will end
05:13up on top
05:20it was a good save first off but as it bounced bounces back out to Sombeng sweeps it home we
05:30haven't seen much
05:31of him at all he gets his name on the score sheet and he won't care about his first half
05:35performance
05:35as long as Cameroon win this game
05:44originally it was a very good scene by Mambo take
05:49Massacon will probably be quite disappointed the fact that he didn't
05:52get the goal himself but he won't mind too much as long as to Sombeng
05:57ended up being there to sweep at home
06:08fantastic celebrations means that Cameroon are 1-0 up
06:12Omar Sombeng
06:15on the score sheet scoring Cameroon's second goal of the tournament and what a vital goal it could be
06:21because that could make them save into the next round or at least into the
06:28playoffs to get into the next round
06:34and that is half time to be honest i'm surprised we haven't had another couple of minutes because we had
06:38a few more injuries going down during that period but it is Cameroon who scored with effectively the
06:43last kick of that first half Dominican Republic of Congo go into that one that half still not scoring
06:49a goal in the entire tournament not being able to keep a clean sheet either and the bottom of the
06:55stairs
06:56and he's stat that sort of wins yeah wins uh Jules one site
07:02my days i thought that went in i could not
07:07not the best again needs to go a little bit further than that obviously flicked on i suppose
07:12but there's an opportunity here it's not the best ball in but Loco has a couple of steps on it
07:17tries to whip it in back across the box
07:21Mbobo trying to put himself about and get the free kick but in the end actually gives it away
07:30second half possession stats uh indicating exactly what i was thinking of the fact that uh
07:35DR Congo have had a better possession more the ball 55 percent
07:41they are having it in slightly threatening positions without actually getting the shot off
07:45but it is slightly better Mbobo trying to wiggle their way through DR Congo were weak from set pieces
07:52defensively well they're not been the best offensively either but Cameroon haven't been
07:57much better to try and take advantage of that i mean Shikoudi though ends up coming on and instantly
08:03trying to uh link a few of the uh balls in and to try and bring the midfield into it
08:09a little bit more
08:09and maybe there's wingers as well as Cameroon set on the attack is there going to be a foul no
08:15advantage
08:15not even an advantage as Abdelrahman actually brings the ball in this could fall to Mbobo but it doesn't
08:39take down nicely by Mbobo he's got an overload with him if he needs it he doesn't need it tries
08:45to face it up
08:46lifts it nicely in oh and that's a good opportunity
08:50to make it 2-0 Traore and Kada lining up at the back post Traore reverse if you have a
08:56look up
08:56number seven Mikella has got loads of space in the midfield
09:02but Kingu does what he needs to catch the ball puts it on the floor and then dives on it
09:08for the
09:09canvas making sure that no one is going away from that situation with his ball
09:20Mikella nods it back to his goalkeeper who I imagine well he doesn't actually launch it forward
09:30Mikella this time tries to find a way down the route at the wing but it wasn't to be for
09:36Dominican
09:37Republic of Congo they crash out of group B and the total energies under 17 2026 AFCON but for Cameroon
09:47they will go through in the automatic spaces in second place behind Ivory Coast ahead
09:53of Uganda and look what it means to them
10:01it was by no means the best game Cameroon will have to do better if they want to progress on
10:06from
10:06this position but Omar some
10:08you
10:09you
