New Delhi: It turned out to be a walk in the park for Cameroon as they drubbed minnows Nepal 5-0 to stay in contention in the Nehru Cup football tournament, here on Sunday. Kologny Merime, Ebanga Bertin and Momaso Joseph scored for the winners, in the 13th, 41st, 61st, 66th and 77th minutes respectively.

Cameroon got an early goal when Merime headed home after receiving a cross from the right from Kingue Mpondo. Stephen Mbia deserves a mention for his run down the wing, after which he delivered the ball to Mpondo, who then gave it to Merime.

The Africans doubled the lead as Bertin found the net just before the break. Bertin struck when his well-directed header off Ashu Tambe’s low cross found the target.

Merime found his second of the day when he converted Mpondo Kingue’s assist. The move started from the back as Ngome Lawrence pushed the ball to Paul Bebey who broke through the Nepal defence before giving a through ball to Merime, who made use of the chance without much difficulty. The absence of Nepal defenders near the post helped him to an extent. (PTI)
