However, they had to be at their best to get maximum points from the Eagles who had claimed a 1-0 win over Burkina Faso in their opening game as well.
The Indomitable Lions settled early and took a deserved lead after just six minutes. 26-year-old midfielder Anthony Mfede picked the run of Banga who managed to find the back of the net to give the home fans something to celebrate.
The lead lasted just six minutes, and concentration lapses allowed Samake into a good area and he did not disappoint. He managed to put his team onto level terms and ensured the spoils are shared.

I m not yet serene over the team s current situation. We had elaborated a plan hoping that the league will kick off but we ve had to change everything and it s just an ugly situation. No one is happy with this situation. We re just trying to limit the damage because right now we re not where we want to be.
The absence of a Cameroonian league and a mass exodus of players has left the veteran tactician – who led the country to a quarter-final finish at Rwanda 2016 - with the option of calling up clubless but experienced players like 34-year-old Patrick Mevoungou plus Yannick N Djeng and Franck Ondoa Edima who both compete for fifth-tier clubs.
