Christian Kofane scored a spectacular first international goal and Bryan Mbeumo was replaced at half-time as Cameroon finished second in Group F despite a comeback win over fellow qualifiers Mozambique at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).
Cameroon now face a tough task against South Africa in the last 16 and also find themselves in what looks to be the harder side of the draw, after holders Ivory Coast scored a 91st-minute winner in their 3-2 win over Gabon to pip the Indomitable Lions to top spot in Group F on goals scored.
Mozambique, who are 102nd in Fifa's rankings and beat Gabon by the same scoreline for their first-ever win at an Afcon finals, were briefly on course to win the group and would have claimed second spot had they held on to the lead they earned through Geny Catamo's sublime 23rd-minute opener in Agadir.
