After
African qualifying was wrapped up in the last
international break in terms of the group phase‚
Cameroon had finished second in their group‚ four points behind first-time qualifiers
Cape Verde. It meant they would face a
play-off against a team from another group‚ and would take on
DR Congo. They went into the game as heavy favourites‚ but suffered an agonising 1-0 defeat. Chancel Mbemba‚ formerly of
Newcastle‚ scored the winner in stoppage time‚ triggering ecstatic scenes as
Cameroon players fell to the ground.
