Cameroon 2-0 Madagascar
Tunisia 2-2 Ghana
(Tunisia win 8-7 after penalties) Eto'o scored Cameroon's opener |
African champions Cameroon will play next year's Nations Cup hosts Tunisia in the final of a four-team friendly tournament in Tunis. Yesterday, Cameroon defeated Madagascar with an easy win while Tunisia reached the final through a marathon shoot-out, after struggling against nine-man Ghana.
First-half goals by Samuel Eto�o Fils and Joseph Desire Job gave the Indomitable Lions victory as the Cameroonians dominated Madagascar, who were no match for the African champions.
Eto�o scored the first goal in the 15th minute after a goalkeeping blunder and Job doubled matters two minutes before the interval.
Two goals by Ghana�s Charles Amoah forced Tunisia to come from behind twice in a disappointing performance by the hosts.
Amoah gave Ghana the lead on the stroke of half-time, but Tunisia equalised immediately after the break through Imed Mhadhebi.
Amoah hit back straight away with his second of the game, but Nabil Missaoui made it 2-2 in the 55th minute.
Tunisia went on to win 8-7 in a penalty shoot-out.
This was the first game for the Black Stars since the appointment of the new coach Burkhard Ziese.
The Ghanaians will play Madagascar on Sunday in the third place play-off game.
