Cameroon replied immediately in the 29th minute through experienced striker Yannick Ndjeng courtesy of a mistake from the Leopards goalkeeper.

With the first half fast approaching Felix Oukine Tcheoude strike in the 42nd minute took a wicked deflection to beat goalkeeper Ley Matampi to put the home side in the lead at half-time.
