Cameroun Beats Kuwait 3-1 in FIFA Friendly Encounter

In one of the encounters counting for the March 2018 FIFA friendlies, Cameroun’s Indomitable Lions trashed the Kuwaiti national football side 3-1. The Camerounian goals started coming in as early as the first sixteen minutes of the game. Two of the three goals came in within these first sixteen minutes with Aboubakar Vincent and Bassogog scoring.

The Camerounian side demonstrated their usual masterly play style that has for some time been missing from their games. With several substitutions especially at the goalpost, only Fabrice Ondoa conceded a goal in the second half of the game. The Cameroun team in today’s game at least revived the spirits of sports lovers in the country. This performance is a sure demonstration of the great job Alexandre Belinga is doing as head coach since the departure of the Belgian-Hugo Broos.

One cannot but wonder if this time around, a national will be given the opportunity to prove his mettle on the bench of the Indomitable Lions. Given that expatriates are often preferred by the Cameroun football governing body, one clearly wonders if this time around, Alexandre Belinga will at least be awarded the confidence to handle the team right up to and through the 2019 African Nations’ Cup to be hosted by the country.

Today’s victory comes at a time when most Camerounians have lost faith in the team given their failure to qualify for the FIFA World Cup in Russia late last year against the Super Eagles of Nigeria. At this time, the only wish of Camerounian nationals is their desire to rebuild hope around the team and the management that will take the Lions to the AFCON of 2019. Let’s all wait and see…
