A disorder which allowed Mohamed Bayo to launch Syli National. Guinea dominates the match overall and would have even made the break before the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the Captain of Syli, Fran\u00e7ois Kamano, unwittingly completely revived Cameroon in the last moments at the end of the first part. After consultation with the Var, the former Bordelais received a red card after his fault deemed dangerous, which left Guinea at 10 throughout the second part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">FIN DU MATCH | CMR 1\ufe0f\u20e3-1\ufe0f\u20e3GUI<br><br>C\u2019est termin\u00e9 au Stade Charles Konan Banny.

However, he describes the end result as &#8220;magnificent&#8221;, and emphasizes that even reduced to 10 men, Guinea could create scoring opportunities.<em> \u201cBut it\u2019s beautiful! Especially because I&#8217;m not even going to say 11 to 11. We were already leading 1-0 and then we got a red card which reduced us to 10. We could only defend and then if unfortunately for them, we had long balls because we have attackers who go fast, we score the second goal. But now, it&#8217;s very good. \u00bb<\/em>, he said into the microphone of our special correspondent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pascal Feindouno tackles Cameroon after draw<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cameroon certainly held on to the point of a draw, but the Indomitable Lions largely disappointed when they entered the fray in this Afcon 2023. Rigobert Song&#8217;s men, constantly in difficulty, did not manage to bring out the ball cleanly and to be dangerous in the Guineans&#8217; half of the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deprived of Vincent Aboubakar, affected in training and Bryan Mbeumo, withdrawn, Cameroon no longer has offensive weapons and is only banking on Karl Toko Ekambi and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou. But it is ultimately Frank Magri who will avoid defeat for the Indomitable Lions, despite having a numerical superiority since the end of the first part. And Pascal Feindouno does not hold back his criticism of Cameroon. The Guinean legend who passed through ASSE claims that if Naby Keita and Serhou Guirassi had not been injured, Guinea would have &#8220;crushed&#8221; Cameroon. A bold statement that reflects confidence in the team&#8217;s strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIf Naby Keita and Serhou Guirassi were there, we wouldn\u2019t be talking about a match anymore. We won&#8217;t talk anymore. We were going to crush them (the Cameroonians),\u201d <\/em>said Pascal Feindouno, considered by many to be the best Guinean player of all time ahead of Titi Camara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">La poule C se conclut sur un match nul. \u2705 <br><br>Cameroun \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddf2 1-1 \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\uddf3 Guin\u00e9e <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DkJopxeWef\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/DkJopxeWef<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Le Foot 225 \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddee (@LeFoot225) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeFoot225\/status\/1746975562013298871?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">January 15, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pascal Feindouno concludes by looking to the future with optimism. He shows respect towards Senegal, current reigning African champions, while suggesting that Guinea aspires to follow in their footsteps. <em>\u201cI\u2019m confident. Today. The Guinea of today is not the Guinea of yesterday. There is progression. We too will copy other countries. Next to it, the neighboring countries, Senegal?
