At 0:00 Beijing time on January 14, the second round of the African Cup of Nations group stage began, and Group A ushered in a disparity in the duel. In the first half, Hortsa scored first and Ekambi equalised. In the second half, Abubakar scored twice, Ekambie scored another goal, and Cameroon won 4-1 against Ethiopia.
This year's Africa Cup of Nations has a magical scene, the first round of 12 group matches, actually played 9 games 1-0, none of the goals difference more than 1, the total number of goals scored is only 12, the efficiency is quite low, the scene is very dull.
After waiting for 4 days, the fans finally saw a big score. In the 4th minute, Gebre Michael's cross from the right was met by Dawa Hosart in the penalty area and Ethiopia miraculously took the lead, 1-0!
To know that the last time Ethiopia scored in the African Cup of Nations was in 2013, waiting for 9 years to finally score again, the whole team was emotional and celebrated together.
However, only four minutes later, Fai crossed from the right, Ekambie's header broke the goal, and Cameroon quickly equalized, 1-1!
In the 52nd minute, Faye scored twice, Abubakar jumped high to go down again, and Ethiopia was overtaken 1-2.
In the 54th minute, Nyamareu's low cross in front of the goal, Abubakar shoveled a shot to complete the twice, 1-3! In the 67th minute, Ekambie dribbled into the box, swung off defenders and fired a low shot, Ethiopia conceded three goals in 15 minutes and returned 1-4.
Cameroon has won the African Cup of Nations five times, they sit on a large number of players who play in the five major leagues in Europe, the overall value of 140 million euros, coupled with the host advantage, is undoubtedly the favorite to win the African Cup of Nations.
As for Ethiopia, a weak country in African football, it only ranks 137th in the world, and the whole team is worth just over 3 million, the strength of the two sides is quite different, and the loss is reasonable.
After this campaign, Cameroon became the first team to win two consecutive games, locking up the qualification for the round of 16 in the first round. As for Ethiopia becoming the first team to lose 2 consecutively, not only is it at the bottom of the 0-point line, but the goal difference is still embarrassing -4, which has stood on the edge of the cliff and is basically out.
Although Ethiopia's strength is not good, it is difficult to break through from the group stage, but their fans do not see the slightest frustration and sadness, so far in the stands to shake the flag and dance, enjoy the football to bring them happiness.
