Coronavirus: Sao Tome and Principe stranded in Yaounde after Cameroon clash

Player and officials of Sao Tome and Principe have been left stranded in Yaounde since last Saturday following a strict national lockdown in Cameroon due to the coronavirus outbreak.

After an initial 4-0 loss in Sao Tome, Aureliano Semedo's side was again at the receiving end as they suffered a 6-0 second-leg defeat at Ngoa-Ekelle Stadium, bowing out 10-0 on aggregate.
