The two-time champions were rewarded in the 20th minute when Lilepo rose highest to head home a corner kick.
However, that goal did little to stop determined Cameroon from pushing for goals. They upped their tempo, throwing everything they got on attack amid cheers from their fans.
Finally, the Central Africa nation managed to get an equalizer in the 28th minute. Goalkeeper Ley Matampi failed to clear the danger in his area, and the ball fell in the path of Ndjeng for an easy tap-in, much to the relief of their fans.
The winning goal came in the 41st minute when Tcheoude s strike took a wicked deflection before finding the back of the net.
Poor Warriors Finish CHAN Finals Winless
January 25, 2021
Controversial Warriors coach Zdravko Logarusic yet again hogged the limelight for the wrong reasons for substituting his left-back Qadir Amini after just 139 seconds, as Zimbabwe failed to collect a single point in a disastrous 2020 African Nations Championships (CHAN) following a defeat to Mali in their Group A dead rubber against Mali in Douala, Cameroon on Sunday evening.
After his bizzare witchcraft allegations against Cameroon ahead of the tournament opener, Logarusic brutally substituted Amini just four minutes into the match against the Eagles of Mali.
Amini’s crime was taking a free kick ahead of the team’s designated free kick taker Tatenda Tavengwa.
Mali…………(1) 1
