AFCON 2021: Aboubakar bags a brace as Cameroon seal 4-1 victory over Ethiopia

Cameroon have become the first team to make it to the knockouts of AFCON 2021 as they thrashed Ethiopia 4-1 on Thursday.

Vincent Aboubakar and Karl Toko Ekambi both earned a brace to claim an emphatic victory for the Indomitable Lions at the Olembe Stadium.

The host nation fell behind early in the match when Dawa Hotessa Dukele shocked them by smashing a goal.

However, Toni Conceicao’s side made a strong comeback and neutralised Ethiopia’s advantage through Ekambi’s strike.

The score remained the same until the end of the first half but Cameroon ran riot after the interval.
