The result means that the Indomitable Lions will cross swords with India in the final on Sunday (September 2).<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As things stand now, both Cameroon and India have 7 points each from 3 matches while Maldives, the other team who was in the contention prior to the kick-off finished their engagement on 6 points from 4 matches. Syria and Nepal had earlier bowed out of the Tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>India and Cameroon clash with each other in the last match of the round robin league which is also a dress rehearsal for the final slated to be played on September 2.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Coming to the match, Cameroon went ahead as early as in the 12th minute through Kingue Mpondo\u2019s close-range volley but his goal was cancelled out 13 minutes later when Abdul Akram slotted home from close range. But the islanders\u2019 joy was short-lived as the Indomitable Lions restored their upper hand in the 39th minute. Mpondo was on target again, this time from a corner. His header went like a bullet past Maldives custodian Mohammed Imran. Ebanga Bertin increased the margin in the 50th minute from the spot.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cameroon started the match from where they left in their last outing against Nepal, troubling the Red Snappers from the word go with swift flank movement and physical superiority.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A packed five-man midfield failed to bear fruit for Asfaq Ali\u2019s boys until the 26th minute when a brilliant move saw Easa Ismail set up Akram inside the box. Akram made no mistake from close range with a rasping right-footer that nestled into the far post. But the Indomitable Lions restored their superiority in the 39th minute through Mpondo who doubled his tally with a powerful header from a corner.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Maldives were down to ten men at the beginning of the second half as Ashaad Ali was sent off for protesting against a spot kick decision. Ebanga Bertin, once again was spot on from the spot. The decision though left both Ali and his colleagues fuming.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: A place in the summit clash was up for grabs for both Cameroon and Maldives.
