Coach Song made a clear decision after the mistake against Senegal: the former Inter goalkeeper, now at Manchester United, continues to endure a difficult time.
André Onana continues his troubled season. After errors and a barrage of criticism with Manchester United, his Africa Cup of Nations campaign isn’t improving. The former Inter goalkeeper was benched in today’s match against Gambia, which the “Indomitable Lions” won 3-2, narrowly securing a spot in the Round of 16.
Ondoa started instead of Onana
Rigobert Song, Cameroon’s coach, opted for Fabrice Ondoa, Onana’s cousin, who had already played in the first match of the current Africa Cup of Nations against Guinea (1-1). Onana had watched that game from the stands shortly after arriving from Manchester. He then played in the second group stage match but conceded three goals against reigning champions Senegal, drawing harsh criticism for his goalkeeping.
