AFCON: Oyongo Captains Cameroon to 3rd Place Victory
Ambroise Oyongo (#6) is pursued by excited team-mates after scoring the deciding penalty to secure a third place finish in the delayed 2021 AFCON for Cameroon.Former Impact full-back Ambroise Oyongo Bitolo (30) captained and scored the clinching penalty for his national team in their AFCON 3rd/4th place play-off match with Burkina Faso on Saturday.
Hosts Cameroon had lost on a penalty shoot-out to reach the final at the expense of Mo Salah’s Egypt, but despite several changes (from which Oyongo benefitted) managed to get the job done against Burkina Faso to clinch third place, but only just and only after a comeback of momentous proportions.
