DOUALA: Karl Toko Ekambi scored a double as hosts Cameroon comfortably beat lowly-ranked Gambia 2-0 in Saturday’s African Nations Cup quarterfinal to become the first side to book a place in the last four.
The two goals came in a seven-minute burst in the second half as Cameroon finally converted their superiority into goals in front of an ecstatic crowd at the Japoma Stadium.
Toko Ekambi got his first with a 50th minute header and then, in the 57th minute, snuck in behind the Gambian defence to tap home a square pass for the second.
Cameroon will meet the winner of Sunday’s quarterfinal between Egypt and Morocco.
