    CLOSE!
    Fai lets fly from distance and his effort crashes into the side netting. Good hit.
    27'
    GAMBIA ATTACK:
    Barrow ventures into the box for the first but the cross from the right is a poor one.
    25'
    CORNER:

    Good run from Ngamaleu, his cross is blocked for a corner. The delivery is gathered by the keeper.
    24'
    AMAZING SKILL:

    Brilliant 360 degree turn on the byline from Aboubakar, he tees up Ekambi whose shot is charged down.
    22'
    BOOKING:

    Sonka is booked for a soft tug back, looked very harsh.
    20'
    WASTEFUL:
    Janko has space down the right and tries to ping in a cross but its cleared easily.
    18'
    EKAMBI DANGEROUS:

    The winger is getting more into the game now to provide that threat from his crosses.

    14'
    CLOSE!
    Aboubakar tries a deft flick at the near post and his effort goes over. He should maybe have tried something more orthodox.
    12'
    CAMEROON CORNER:

    Ekambi's cross is headed behind for a corner. The delivery is cleared. Its crossed back in and the Gambians clear.
    10'
    It has been a scrappy start, you can perhaps put it down to nerves.
    8'
    GOOD MOVE:
    A through ball is played in down the left flank for Cameroon but Aboubakar overhits it.
    6'
    CRACKING ATMOSPHERE:
    A huge roar goes up whenever Cameroon enter the opposition half but their passing has been off so far.

    3'
    EARLY DOORS:
    The Scorpians look more settled and threatening, particularly down the left flank.
    1'
    PITCH:
    The state of the pitch does not look the best in parts, simllar to the Egypt-Ivory Coast game.

    FORM GUIDE:
    Cameroon have the home support but will need to improve from their display in the last 16 game against a 10-man Comoros side with the left-back in goal.
