The Confederation of African Football (Caf) reminisced how Cameroon silenced Nigeria 3-1 to win the 1984 Africa Cup of Nations staged in Cote d’Ivoire.
Inspired by the tournament’s Most Valuable Player Theophile Abega, Radivoje Ognjanovic’s men outplayed the Green Eagles, handled by Festus Onigbinde at Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny, Abidjan.
Muda Lawal’s 10th-minute goal had moved Nigeria ahead but Rene Brice N'Djeya, Abega and Ernest-Lottin Ebongue scored to hand the Indomitable Lions their first Afcon triumph.
36 years have passed since the feat, and Caf relived Cameroon’s historic feat on social media.
