Cameroon vs Cabo Verde: Did the Indomitable Lions send Samuel Eto’o a message?

Indeed, this meeting was eagerly awaited, not least because of the ongoing conflict between the Ministry of Sport and Physical Education and Fecafoot since April 2. The Indomitable Lions were therefore in the spotlight, all the more so as a number of players unjustly left out of the squad shone. Michael Ngadeu, back in the squad, was particularly outstanding, both scoring and providing the decisive assist, as were a number of other players playing in a complicated context.

Despite pessimistic expectations, particularly in view of Cabo Verde’s recent performances, Marc Brys’s men rose to the challenge, sending out a strong message to Samuel Eto’o about cohesion, team spirit and the will to win.

The victory consolidates the Belgian coach’s burgeoning reputation in Cameroonian soccer history. In an amateur video published on the Lattaquant.com website, the President of the Cameroon Football Federation made no secret of his emotion at Michael Ngadeu’s goal. Here’s a video recap of today’s Indomitable Lions performances.
