Cameroon was reduced to 10 men in the 33rd minute when Samuel Eto’o received two yellow cards seconds of each other and was sent off. Check out his tackle which resulted in Duda executing some of the most theatrical rolls. See Eto’o’s reluctance to leave the pitch and then his sideline behaviour.
Without Eto’o the attack lacked a bite although they were able to get on the scoreboard through Pierre Wome’s goal.
Eto’o seems to have had a bad week with all the focus on Roger Milla’s accusations that the Inter striker has yet to prove himself internationally.
