U23 AFCON qualifiers: Cameroon thrash Rwanda 3-0 to edge closer to third round

The U23 Indomitable Lions pulled off an excellent result in Kigali on Wednesday 11 November.

Away to face Rwanda in the first leg of the second round of the 2027 U23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, the Cameroonians secured a commanding 3-0 victory. Guy Armand Feutchine’s side navigated this first leg perfectly, getting the better of their opponents.

Solid and clinical, the young Lions found the net three times without conceding a single goal. Edzimbi Fergani, who scored a brace, and Rattensi Nko netted Cameroon’s goals. It was a convincing victory that puts Cameroon in a favourable position ahead of the return leg.

The Indomitable Lions U23s will host Rwanda on Tuesday 17 November in Yaoundé for the second leg. With this three-goal lead, they now have a strong chance of securing their place in the third round of the competition.

Furthermore, Cameroon will have the advantage of playing in front of their home crowd in the return leg. This will be an additional asset in building on the show of strength they put on on Wednesday 11 November in Kigali.
