Cameroon confident ahead of Congo clash

Cameroon's national team are confident they will get a result against Congo in their 2016 CAF African Championships (CHAN) qualifier on Saturday.

When the two teams met recently for the first leg clash they played to a goalless draw in Cameroon.

Cameroon's CHAN squad coach Ntdoungou Mpile believes that this is the right opportunity for his players to make their mark and qualify by winning this match.

“The 0-0 draw at home in the first leg was a good score because we can score one or two goals to qualify,” he said in the wake of the match in Yaoundé.

The coach described his team, which he had only four days to assemble and train ahead of the first leg, as a “stop gap”, but he believes they will be in better shape for the return game.

“Substantive work must be done to prepare for this match,” Mpile said.

Cameroon’s only appearance at the CHAN finals was in 2011 when they reached the quarterfinals.
