The pressure paid off when Shalulile pounced on a poorly handled shot by Epassy to put the Warriors one up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cameroonians looked leggy after the second goal and kept giving the ball away in the middle of the park. Namibia earned a freekick on the edge of Cameroon&#8217;s 18-yard box, which Absolom Limbondi converted emphatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lions cranked up the pressure, but it was too little too late. A consolation goal came in the 90th minute through Vincent Aboubakar, a come-back was not to be, as minnows Namibia held on to record a historic victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-s-next\">What&#8217;s Next?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The victory takes Namibia to the top of Group C, picking up their qualification ticket for the 2023 African showpiece in the Ivory coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be a winner-takes-all affair when Cameroon faces Burundi in September. A draw will be enough to take the lions through, while defeat will mean elimination for the 5 -times African Champions. The question on everyone&#8217;s lips is whether Rigobert Song will be in the dugout for that game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cameroon manager&#8217;s record now reads one win in nine since he took over the reins of the National team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See Also: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hippoinfos.com\/ro\/song-leaves-out-man-of-the-match\/\">Song Leaves Out Man Of The Match<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"hippo-after-content\" id=\"hippo-3257670805\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5256972400646166\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5256972400646166\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"9944012669\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cameroon&#8217;s Indomitable Lions coach, Rigobert Song, runs out of excuses after the humiliating loss to Namibia.
