Hosts Cameroon got off to a perfect start at the 2020 African Nations Championship (CHAN) on Saturday by defeating Zimbabwe 1-0 in the opening match of the tournament.
A second half goal by Salomon Banga was all the Indomitable Lions needed to see off the southern Africans at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaounde.
But the Warriors were aided by the profligacy of the home side who had the Cotonsport Garaou defender to thank after he scored with an acrobatic kick on 72 minutes in the Group A match.
The Indomitable Lions could have won the match by a wider margin but goalkeeper Ariel Sibanda was alert to deny Jacques Zoua at the halfway stage of the first-half.
