Cameroon denied qualification to U17 competition by Ghana

Cameroon lost out in the qualification for the 2015 Africa U17 Championship after they were beaten 4-3 in Accra on Sunday in their final round qualifier return leg tie against Ghana.

Ghana qualified with a 6-4 aggregate as they were quick to come out from the blocks with a goal from Issah Abass five minutes before Medarious scored his first of the day in the 17th minute with a well taken goal.

Striker Jonah Osabutey added another on 36 minutes before a moment of madness in the Starlets defence which allowed striker Nguene Armel to reduce the deficit in the 43rd minute.

The second half saw the Cubs of Cameroon come out on tops with their midfield dominating proceedings before getting their second goal through Bayemi Nguidjol four minutes after the break to make it 3-2.

Medarious restored Ghana two-goal advantage with another belter from the edge of the penalty box in the 78th minute but Forkem Naime Kong responded four minutes from time.

Ghana will join hosts Niger and six other countries for the tournament.
