The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon displayed their trademark strength and precision as they claimed a convincing win over Mauritius in the latest round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The match, held at the Côte d’Or National Sports Complex in Saint Pierre, Mauritius, drew excitement from fans across Africa as both sides sought valuable points to advance in their qualification campaign.
From the opening whistle, Cameroon showed intent and control. The team’s attacking lineup pressed high, forcing the Mauritian defense into early errors. It didn’t take long for Cameroon to open the scoring, with captain Vincent Aboubakar converting a well-placed cross midway through the first half. The goal energized the visitors, who continued to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities.
Mauritius, though defensively organized, struggled to keep pace with the tempo of the game. Their attempts to counterattack were repeatedly broken up by Cameroon’s disciplined midfield, anchored by André-Frank Zambo Anguissa, who dictated the rhythm with confidence.
In the second half, Cameroon extended their lead through Karl Toko Ekambi, whose clinical finish from inside the box left the Mauritian goalkeeper with no chance. Despite Mauritius’ late push to reduce the deficit, the Cameroonian defense remained solid, ensuring a clean sheet to cap off an impressive performance.
The victory strengthens Cameroon’s position in their qualification group and reinforces their reputation as one of Africa’s most consistent footballing nations. Meanwhile, Mauritius will look to regroup and learn from the experience as they continue their World Cup qualification journey.
With their next fixtures looming, the Indomitable Lions appear determined to roar louder than ever as they chase another World Cup appearance
