Clinging to the goal exit line on the right, Bertrand Traore tries hard at ground level towards the goal. After a block from Jerome Onguen, the ball returns to Adama Guira, who strikes from close. On her line, Onana Burkinabe pushes the shot back with a strong hand (55 .)I) Hot shot in Yaoundé!
However, Cameron is close to making the break. Outnumbered, the indomitable lions led a reaction after a missed strike from Traore and pushed back.
