The Indomitable Lions sealed the win in the 42nd minute as Felix Tcheounde’s shot took a deflection to beat the goalkeeper for the second time.
Despite a solid performance in the second-half, DR Congo were unable to equalise and crashed out of the competition.
“Congratulations to Cameroon. Two individual mistakes penalised us,” Ibenge told
“Cameroon didn’t have more opportunities than that, but they were very realistic on those occasions and that's what made the difference.
“If you take a good look at the second half, I think we rather dominated the game. We didn't give up, we didn't look down, we played to the end.
