In the final round of Group C of the African Cup of Nations in the early hours of Wednesday morning (24th), Cameroon's Nicolas Sangji relegated Manchester United goalkeeper Oonana, who had a poor performance in the previous match, to the bench. The team immediately turned around and beat Gambia 3-2 to finish second in the group and advance to the Round of 16, where they will face Nigeria. After this, it is believed that Oonana will have no place in the team and will have to sit on the bench as a spectator for the rest of the tournament.
Onana missed Cameroon's first group stage match against Guinea because of a delayed flight to play for Manchester United against Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League. The 27-year-old goalkeeper was a regular in the match against Senegal, but his performance was useless, with 0 saves in the match, resulting in a 1-3 loss for his team.
In this match, the manager Nicolphe Sange decided to hide Onana and use Fandua as the gatekeeper. In the 56th minute of the match, Cameroon's striker Togo Igambi scored a goal to open the record, but they conceded 2 goals in a row, and faced the crisis of going out of the tournament for a while. In a dramatic development, Cameroon equalized in the 87th minute with an opponent's own goal, and then in the first minute of extra time, center forward Kiss Duhuahouo scored the winning goal to win 3-2 and get 4 points from 3 matches to go out of the competition in the second place.
In the same group, Senegal beat Ginebra 2-0 and won all 3 matches to top the group, while Ginebra lost the game, but both can be 1 of the best 3rd place and advance to the round of 16.
