Nations Cup 2015 Qualifiers; Cameroon hammer Ivory Coast to stay top of Group D

Cameroon continued their resurgence as they hammered Ivory Coast 4-1 in their 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Yaounde.



Having put their disastrous World Cup campaign behind them to beat DR Congo last weekend, the Indomitable Lions made it two wins out of two games in Group D in their quest to reach next year?s tournament in Morocco.



Cameroon striker Clinton Njie and Vincent Aboubakar both scored twice as the hosts ran out with a comprehensive victory against the Elephants of Ivory Coast.



A deflection off a defender helped Njie put Cameroon ahead on 15 minutes only for Yaya Toure to level 10 minutes later when he slid in to convert a cross.

Aboubakar intercepted a headed back-pass to fire past veteran goalkeeper Boubacar Barry and give the home team a 2-1 half-time lead.

A loose ball was hammered home by Aboubakar on 54 minutes and he set up Njie to score with an unstoppable close-range shot 14 minutes from time.



In Group D?s other Game, DR Congo ran out 2-0 victors against Sierra Leone as

Firmin Mubele Ndombe gave the visitors an early lead while Bokala scored late on to make the game safe and put pressure on Ivory Coast.



Group A

Congo continued their impressive start to the campaign with a 2-0 win over visiting Sudan who is yet to score a goal in the final round of qualifiers.

The second goal came from Prince Oniangue in injury time match to give the Red Devils a maximum six points from 2 games.

Group B

Atusaye Nayondo scored twice to help Malawi to a 3-2 home win against Ethiopia.

Levy Madinda got the equalizer to spare the blushes of the Gabonese to earn a share of the spoils.

Burkina Faso stays top with six points, Gabon on 4 points, Lesotho on one point and Angola placed bottom with no points.
