Guinea started positively and managed to open the scoring in the 22nd minute courtesy of a strike from Yamodou Touré, 1-0.

Guinea continued to dominate the half, but could not add to the scoreline before the break.

Cameroon came out fighting in the second half and managed to pull level in the 68th minute courtesy of a striker from Zobo, 1-1.

Both teams pushed forward in the final 20 minutes of the match, but neither could find the back of the net as they game ended all-square.

Cameroon are next in action on Saturday, May 20 against Gabon while Guinea will take on Ghana on the same day in their final Group A games.
