Afcon 2019: "There's room for growth" - Cameroon coach Seedorf after Nigeria loss

Cameroon coach Clarence Seedorf believes his outfit had a good tournament at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, despite their Round of 16 elimination at the hands of Nigeria on Saturday.

The Indomitable Lions' hopes of defending their title won in Gabon in 2017 ended in disappointment following a 3-2 loss to the Alexandria Stadium.

Stephane Bahoken and Clinton N'Jie scored for Cameroon but an Odion Ighalo double and Alex Iwobi effort sent Nigeria through to the quarterfinals.
