Burkina Faso was well prepared for the challenge of the 3rd place with their posible 1st 11 on the pitch. It was not the same case with Cameroon where we saw team B line up to challenge for the 3rd place.

The game looked finished after Steeve Yago, an own goal from Cameroon goal keeper and Dango Aouttara put the Stalions in to a magnificent 3-0 command. Thanks to Stephen Bahoken late goal and the Cameroon goal magician Vincent Aboubakar who was substituted at half time scored 2 goals in 3 minutes to help his team go in for penalties
shoot-out .
In scoring twice Aboubakar secured the goalden boot.

The penalty shoot-out was quite different from what we saw 48 hours ago againts Egyptian but never the less the indomitable lions secured the 3rd position by beating Burkina faso 5-4 on penalties thanks to Onana for stopping one of the Stalions from scoring and an xxl final penalty shoot from Oyongo Bitollo . The party began and joy came over the faces of 24 million population.

While both teams the indomitable lions and the Stalions have had a good run in the tournament the Cameroon team have don it with styl as againts the Stalions with lots of determination infront of home crowd the lions won 4 games drew 1 of the 5 pass matches befor losing on penalties in the semi finals.
Not even tasting defeate in 540 minutes of football in normal time.
Burkina Faso just manage to win 3 had 2 defeats and a draw before losing again last night to make it average on ballance sheet 3 wins 3 defeats and a draw .

A quick reminder Cameroon still have a chance to battle for the Quater world cup 2022.
