Cameroon launch title defence with victory over Guinea-Bissau
Cameroon launched the defence of their Africa Cup of Nations title with a routine 2-0 Group F victory over Guinea-Bissau.Yaya Banana andStephane Bahoken were on target for theIndomitable Lions at theIsmailia Stadium in Egypt.Christian Bassogog should have put Clarence Seedorfs Cameroon ahead just past the half-hour mark whenKarl Toko Ekambi burst down the left and his cutback found Bassogogbut he shanked his effort horribly over with goalkeeper Jonas Mendes out of position having attempted to close down Ekambi.Guinea-Bissau offered little going forward with their best opportunities falling toJudilson Gomes andJuary Soares, who both fired over.Banana opened the scoring after 66 minutes when he got on the end of a corner from Ekambi to head low past Mendes into the net.It was 2-0 just three minutes later when a defensive mix-up in the Guniea-Bissau box saw an attempted clearance hitSory Mane and the ball then dropped for Bahoken to calmly slot home.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
