21 April 2011<\/p>\n

Cameroon have taken a giant step towards the semifinals of the 2011 African Youth Championships with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Nigeria on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The only goal of the game was scored in first-half injury-time by Franck Ohandza and the result leaves Cameroon on top of the pool with six points and with one foot in the semis.<\/p>\n

Nigeria just never got going in a match they might have expected to win, especially after they beat defending champions Ghana in their opening encounter on Monday.<\/p>\n

Ohandza had the ball in the back on the net on 35 minutes but the flag was rightly raised for offside. He did make a chance count just before the break though as he scored with a superb 25-yard shot that left Flying Eagles keeper Paul Dami with no chance.<\/p>\n

It was just reward for the Young Lions as they had been by far the better side in the opening stanza.<\/p>\n

Dami did brilliantly to deny Jacques Haman when the Cameroonian was clear on goal and seemed certain to score, but the keeper stuck out a hand to save his shot at point-blank range.<\/p>\n

Banana Yaya headed over just yards from the line for the Young Lions, while Edgar Salli struck the crossbar with a free-kick.<\/p>\n

Haman had a good chance at the near post but Gbenga Arokoyo did just enough to deny him, while Franck Nkom made a great tackle on Abdul Ajagun as the Nigerians looked to scythe open the Cameroon defence.<\/p>\n

Cameroon should have won by a wider margin, but in the end they will simply be grateful for the three point, while Nigeria now have to beat Gambia in their final Group B match on Sunday to have any chance of making the final four.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
