Afcon qualification: Cameroon held by Cape Verde at home

Cameroon kicked off their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers with a goalless Group F draw against Cape Verde Islands at the Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo on Wednesday.

It was new Portuguese coach Toni Conceicao's first competitive match in charge of the Indomitable Lions after replacing Clarence Seedorf.

Cameroon got into this match having played just a game - another goalless friendly match draw with Tunisia in October - since being knocked out of the Afcon finals at the Round of 16 stage by Nigeria in July.
