The second team to qualify for the next round is Cameroon. Unlike their recent 4-1 victory three days ago, Cameroon struggled against the same opponent today. The Kenyan defense was able to hold off the Cameroonian attack for a long time. The match remained tied for a considerable duration until MLS midfielder Boris Enow broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute.
The match ended 1-0 in favor of Cameroon, bringing their points total to 10. While Kenya’s chances have become more challenging, they still have a possibility of progressing. Their rivals, Zimbabwe, will face Namibia today; if Zimbabwe fails to secure three points, Kenya could reclaim second place with a victory in the upcoming weeks.
On the other hand, in Group A, Gambia won 1-0 against Madagascar. Musa Barrow, wearing the Al-Taawoun jersey, scored Gambia’s goal in the 62nd minute. Following this victory, Gambia remains in third place.
However, Tunisia and Comoros, currently ahead of them, will face off today. Possible points drops for those teams could put Gambia in an advantageous position. Unfortunately, the situation does not look equally bright for Madagascar. Unless a football miracle occurs, their chances of staying in the competition appear slim.
