Cameroon Seal Africa Cup of Nations Finals Place with Narrow Kenya Win

Cameroon has qualified for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations finals with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Kenya. This win, achieved through a brilliant low free kick from Boris Enow, secures the five-time champions a place in Morocco, showcasing their consistent performance in the tournament qualifiers.

Dominating Performance Without Leadership

Despite the absence of their federation president, Samuel Eto’o, who is currently serving a six-month stadium ban, Cameroon exhibited dominance throughout the match held in neutral Kampala. Enow’s decisive goal came shortly after the restart, converting a free kick just outside the box that left the Kenyan defense scrambling. With this victory, Cameroon garnered 10 points from four games, ensuring their position in the top two of their qualifying pool.

Looking Ahead: Path to Morocco

The win allows Cameroon to join hosts Morocco and Burkina Faso among the confirmed teams for the 24-country tournament. This achievement underscores Cameroon’s strategic preparations and the resilience of the squad, which appeared undeterred by the absence of Eto’o. As the final qualifying matches unfold, Algeria has the opportunity to seal their own finals spot later on Monday against Togo.
