Cameroon knocks out South Africa in AFCON match

Cameroon booked their place in the AFCON quarterfinals with a hard-fought 2–1 win over South Africa, setting up a blockbuster clash with hosts Morocco.

Goals from Junior Tchamadeu before halftime and teenage striker Christian Kofane just after the break proved decisive, despite a late rally that saw Evidence Makgopa pull one back for Bafana Bafana.

The victory caps a remarkable turnaround for the five-time champions after a turbulent pre-tournament coaching change.

The Atlas Lions secured their own spot after a magic moment from Brahim Diaz sank a resilient Tanzania. With the pressure mounting on the home favorites, can Cameroon pull off the ultimate upset?
