Webo shines for Cameroon

CAMEROON scored a late winner to upset the Ivory Coast 3-2 away from home yesterday and put themselves one win away from a fifth successive World Cup finals appearance.

Spanish-based striker Achille Webo netted with a brilliant diving header three minutes from time, reacting first as a long-range free kick cannoned back off the upright to take his country top of the African zone Group Three standings.

The goal completed a hat-trick for the striker whose efforts in front of goal had kept the home team on the back foot throughout the match as he traded goals with Chelsea’s Ivorian forward Didier Drogba.
