Angola vs Cameroon : Baleba Again !

“Now to the Indomitable Lions’ performance. Incredible, truly remarkable! Bernard Tchoutang... Nostalgia when you hold us… Forgive this digression, but it was a spontaneous reaction. Let’s get back to business: the team’s performance was remarkable and really deserved the three points. The future looks bright for this team,” said some adult fans of the Indomitable Lions, recalling a certain era of Cameroon matches.

“Baleba, Wooh, Mbeumo, Anguissa and Onana were excellent. The attacking combinations were fluid and precise. I counted at least 7 attacks where the Lions developed the play from Onana to the opposition box, without the Angolans intervening. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that, especially since the great teams of the turn of the millennium…

I was particularly impressed by Carlos Baleba’s play. He has enormous potential to become the mainstay of the Cameroon midfield. His technical ease and ability to project himself forward are reminiscent of players like Redondo or Makélélé. He is omnipresent on the pitch, collecting a large number of balls and freeing up Anguissa to press higher up the pitch...

In the end, getting an away point despite some dubious refereeing decisions is rather satisfying. The qualifying tournament has only just begun, and as long as the Lions remain in control of their own destiny, anything is possible. Brys’ system of play is taking shape and the players seem to be embracing it. With more time to perfect their game in the forthcoming tournaments, Cameroon’s game can only improve, and we all hope that the victories will follow,” commented a number of Internet users, all of whom were unanimous on the matter.

What’s more, in just two games, the Belgian coach has already racked up some impressive and promising statistics:

▪️ 2 matches played

▪️ 4 points out of a possible 6

▪️ 1 win

▪️ 1 draw

▪️ 5 goals scored

▪️ 2 goals conceded

▪️ Leader of Group D of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
