Karl Etta Eyong's early strike gave five-time champions Cameroon victory over Gabon in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations Group F opener in Agadir.
In an intense meeting between Central African neighbours, Cameroon set a bristling pace from the start by snapping up transitions and advancing at speed in the hope of catching Gabon cold.
The ploy paid off when Bryan Mbeumo collected Samuel Kotto's ball over the top and threaded a deft pass on to the run of Eyong inside the box, allowing the Levante forward to slide a first-time finish through goalkeeper Loyce Mbaba's legs - with the goal confirmed as onside by a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) check.
