Syria and Nepal had earlier bowed out of the Tournament.\n<\/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>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>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>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>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><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-3757\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/football-dempo.jpg\" width=\"250\" alt=\"maldives\" style=\"margin: 6px; float: left;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/football-dempo.jpg 250w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/football-dempo-150x94.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>New Delhi<\/strong>: A place in the summit clash was up for grabs for both Cameroon and Maldives.
