Angola vs Cameroon: Moumi Ngamaleu puts an end to the controversy surrounding his absence from the pitch!

This absence paved the way for Christian Bassogog to start this match on the fourth day of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in Africa. After a good start to the match, with an assist for Bryan Mbeumo’s opening goal in the 11th minute, he was unfortunately injured in the 15th minute and had to leave the field. To replace him, Brys surprised everyone by choosing Olivier Ntcham to occupy the left flank of the Cameroon attack.

These decisions sparked controversy among Cameroon football observers, fuelled by social networks questioning Marc Brys’ choices.

However, Moumi Ngamaleu clarified his absence this afternoon, saying: “Just to be brief and clear, I didn’t play yesterday because I was ill. Thank God I’m feeling better. This much-anticipated statement has helped to ease the controversy surrounding Brys’ choices.
