Aboubakar Scores Again As Cameroon Joined By Burkina Faso In Last 16

Cameroon’s forward Vincent Aboubakar eyes the ball during the Group A Africa Cup of Nations 2021 football match between Cape Verde and Cameroon at Stade d’Olembe in Yaounde on January 17, 2022. Kenzo Tribouillard / AFPCameroon captain Vincent Aboubakar scored his fifth goal of the Africa Cup of Nations and his already-qualified side were joined by Burkina Faso on Monday in the second round.

While Cameroon and Burkina Faso are assured of last-16 places, Cape Verde must wait to see if they go through as one of the best four third-placed teams from the six groups. “We won the group, which was our goal, although we wanted to win all our matches. We will continue to play here in Olembe,” said Cameroon coach Toni Conceicao.

Aboubakar has a clear lead in the Golden Boot competition with his closest rivals, compatriot Karl Toko-Ekambi, Tunisian Wahbi Khazri, Malian Ibrahima Kone and Malawian Frank Mhango, scoring two each. Cape Verde reacted to falling behind by becoming more adventurous and troubled the Cameroon rearguard several times before half-time without managing an equaliser.

In Bafoussam, a city 300 kilometres north west of Yaounde, Burkina Faso went ahead on 25 minutes through Bayala.
