Cameroon secured their place in the Africa Cup of Nations AFCON quarter-finals on Sunday after edging South Africa 2-1 in a tense last-16 encounter in Rabat.
Goals from Junior Tchamadeu late in the first half and Christian Kofane shortly after the restart proved decisive at the Al Medina Stadium, despite a late surge from Bafana Bafana.
Tchamadeu gave the Indomitable Lions the lead in the 34th minute, reacting quickest to a loose ball inside the area after a partially cleared corner and steering a close-range finish beyond the South African goalkeeper. The goal was upheld following a lengthy VAR review.
