Upsets continue in Angola as another world cup bound team slumped to defeat as Cameroon fell to their neighbors Gabon in the group D opener in Lubango. Veteran Gabonese striker Daniel Cousin put the Panthers in the lead in the 17th minute when he took advantage of a defensive lapse by the Cameroonian backline. Although Cameroon star Samuel Eto’o was rather anonymous The Indomitable Lions continued to pile on the pressure Gabon goalkeeper of LeMans was equal to the task with an excellent performance. Gabon almost added a second when Carlos Kameni mishit his punch which fell perfectly to Cousin who failed to capitalize. With the result Gabon go to the top of the group table and dampers Cameroons knockout stage chances.
