Cameroon's Christine Manie relives Women's World Cup qualification heroine

Christine Manie says that it's incredible and difficult to explain after she helped Cameroon secure qualification for the 2019 Women's World Cup in France.

The 34-year-old scored a late goal to guarantee the Indomitable Lionesses a 4-2 win over Mali in a third-place match at the 2018 Africa Women's Cup of Nations in Ghana.

Manie's huge contributions for the Central African giants are well documented, as her strike in extra-time secured 2-1 semi-final win in 2014 over Cote d'Ivoire ensured qualifying for the World Cup for the first time.
