53'
INCREDIBLE DOUBLE SAVE!
This is honestly amazing. Alhadhur gets down low to save from Aboubakar, then pulls off a wonderful second save to deny Ngamaleu.
50'
BIG MISS!
A ball into the box narrowly evades Aboubakar but falls perfectly for Toko Ekambi at the far post, only for him to scuff his shot wide. Aboubakar's futile leap may have put him off, in fairness.
48'
POOR FROM CHOUPO-MOTING
... who sprints down the left, cuts inside and, with the goal at his mercy, blasts over.
47'
ALHADHUR SAVES!
The stand-in goalkeeper makes his first stop of the match, denying Aboubakar a headed goal with his legs.

SECOND HALF KICKS OFF
We're back underway at the Olembe Stadium.
End of 1st Half

HALF TIME - CAMEROON 1-0 COMOROS
In what has to go down as a heroic achievement, 10-man Comoros have limited the damage to a single goal in the first half. They might have gone in level were it not for Onana's fantastic double save and, where Cameroon have been far too casual, the underdogs have battled for every ball and played with real heart.
40'
CAMEROON GO CLOSE!
Ngamaleu wins the ball high up the pitch and crosses for Choupo-Moting five yards out, but Younn Zahary makes a vital intervention.
36'
CORNER SQUANDERED
For all their advantages, Cameroon have been remarkably wasteful so far. They win a corner and Ngamaleu steps up, but his delivery doesn't get past the first defender.

DOUBLE SAVE FROM ONANA!
Comoros make a rare foray forwards and very nearly score. Ahmed Mogni forces Onana into a diving save from distance before Mohamed Youssouf tests him again on the follow-up. In the aftermath, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa is booked for a late challenge.

GOAL!
It's heartbreak for Comoros. They lose the ball in midfield, Aboubakar tees up Toko Ekambi and he lashes one into the far corner with Alhadhur stranded.

PROACTIVE GOALKEEPING
A long ball threatens to fall for Toko Ekambi, but Alhadhur roars off his line and heads it clear.
23'
HALF-CHANCE FOR NGAMALEU
Martin Hongla curls a cross into the box and Ngamaleu gets on the end of it, but can only glance a header off target.
20'
SWEEPER KEEPER MODE
Alhadhur has gone full Powerleague, coming forward and spraying passes left and right. It's great entertainment, this.
17'
SO CLOSE!
Karl Toko Ekambi gets in behind on the left and Cameroon look certain to score. He cuts inside, but flashes a shot wide. Alhadhur breathes an audible sigh of relief. Somehow the game remains goalless.
14'
FREE KICK WASTED
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting wins a free kick in a promising position and gives Cameroon a chance to test Alhadhur in goal. Ngamaleu steps up, but fires well over.
11'
GOOD CHANCE!
Vincent Aboubakar leaps on a knockdown on the edge of the area and sends a shot whistling just wide of the post.

RED CARD!
Abdou is off, stacking the odds even further in Cameroon's favour. Replays show that it was a bad challenge, twisting Ngamaleu's ankle horribly, but it certainly wasn't intentional and Abdou will feel hard done-by.

VAR CHECK FOR POSSIBLE RED CARD
It looked fairly innocuous at first glance, but Jimmy Abdou has caught Moumi Ngamaleu on the back of the ankle and looks to be in serious trouble.
2'
COMOROS GO CLOSE!
A mistake from Andre Onana at a free kick almost gifts Comoros an early goal. Who was the stand-in goalkeeper, again?
1st Half
19:00
KICK OFF!
We're underway here. How long until Cameroon take their first shot, do we think?
18:55
FIVE MINUTES UNTIL KICK OFF
We could be about to witness David beat Goliath in Yaounde. Or, more likely, a thumping victory for Cameroon. Let's see.
