AFCON 2033: Cameroon Regret Not Starting Onana As Ondoa Makes Costly Error
Onana ended up playing just one game for Cameroon at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Cameroon were left regretting their decision not to start Andre Onana against Nigeria, with his replacement Fabrice Ondoa making a costly error as his country exited the Africa Cup of Nations.
Ademola Lookman gave Nigeria the lead in the 36th minute of the Africa Cup of Nations round of 16 clash.
However, Ondoa, who is Onana’s cousin, certainly didn’t cover himself in glory, with the goalkeeper allowing a weak shot to get the better of him.
Nigeria secured a 2-0 victory to progress to the quarter-finals of the competition as Lookman added another goal in the closing stages of the game.
Onana watched on from the bench and is now set to return to Manchester United.
Ondoa plays for French third division club Nimes, where he is a back-up to 18-year-old Tao Paradowski.
Onana ended up playing just one game for Cameroon at the Africa Cup of Nations.
He missed their opening fixture against Guinea due to travel problems before featuring in the defeat to Senegal.
Onana was then on the bench for the games against Gambia and Nigeria.
