The Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon defeated their Malian counterpart in a very exciting 2018 AWCON group A encounter.
The Cameroonians as expected settled into the game earlier on and starting piling constant pressure on the Malian defense but luck eluded them as they couldn't find the net in the initial stages of the game.
The second half interestingly began with a spirited performance from the Malians as they became more swifter on the counter breaks and one of such led to their speedster Aissata Traore scoring a beauty of a goal to put them ahead in the 56th minute.
However, a corner kick by Cameroonian attacker Nchout Ajara was poorly cleared by the Malian defense before the ball richocheted on Mefomettou Fallone and somehow found its way into the Mali net to put Cameroon back on level terms in the 71st minute.
Cameroon were not done yet as two minutes later, Aboudi Onguene burst forward before laying the ball for Nchout Ajara who side-footed it into the net to send the Lionesses ahead.
The game ended with Cameroon having the last laugh as they topped group A and with the hope of extending their lead as they face the Fennecs of Algeria on Tuesday night at Accra Sports Stadium.
