Cameroon Advances in AFCON Amid Chaos, Man Utd’s Andre Onana’s Impactful Gesture: Express.co.uk
The Daily and Sunday Express is the home of this news. Onana, the goalkeeper for the Cameroon team, showed strong leadership from the sidelines during a tense match against the Ivory Coast. Cameroon managed to secure a spot in the last 16 by winning the game in the final moments.
In a surprising move, coach Rigobert Song chose Fabrice Ondoa over Onana as the starting goalkeeper, and he failed to make a single save in a match against Senegal. This led to Ondoa replacing him in the next game against Gambia. The match against Gambia was a chaotic and entertaining five-goal thriller, with Cameroon ultimately winning in the 91st minute.
During this match, cameras captured Onana passionately rallying his teammates from the sideline. His encouragement had a visible impact, as Cameroon scored a crucial goal. Despite a brief setback, when Gambia scored what seemed to be an equalizer, it was eventually disallowed after a VAR review.
As a result, Cameroon advanced to the knockout stage where they will face Nigeria. This also means that Onana is unlikely to play for Manchester United in their upcoming FA Cup match against Newport County.
