थे कैमेरून जुनिओर Lions

How far can they go.-That is the question that everybody is asking as the junior lions of Cameroon yesterday night made it to the round of 16 teams in the on going fifa junior world cup in Columbia.The competition did not start out too well for them.They draw 1-1 with a New Zealand team that everybody taught they could easily defeat.They got their goal in that match through a penalty kick.A defensive error though cost them two vital points in that game as their defense panicked and let in an own goal through a miscommunication between the defense man and the goalkeeper.
In match day two things got worse.They made another crucial defensive error that allow Nelson Oliveira of Portugal to find the back of their net just 20 minutes into the game for the score of the match 1-0 in favor of Portugal.So after two matches the junior lions of Cameroon had just one little point to show for their effort.
Going into the last game of their group play,they absolutely had to come out with a victory to advance to the knockout stages of the competition.That is exactly what they did by beating Uruguay by one goal to nil.The goal came in the 28 minute of play through a nice combination of passes,capped by a beautiful finish by number 8 shirt man Emmanuel Mbongo,who was making his first appearance in the competition.The junior lions of Cameroon thus picked up three points from their last group match and automatically qualified as the second placed team from this group.As the runners up with a total of four points they would play the runners-up from group F which is Mexico.
