AFCON: Karl Toko Ekambi strikes twice as Cameroon ease past Gambia
Karl Toko Ekambi bagged a brace as hosts Cameroon knocked out Gambia in their Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final 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, sneaked in behind the Gambian defence to tap home a square pass for the second. Cameroon will meet the winner of Sunday's quarter-final between Egypt and Morocco. The Indomitable Lions completely dominated the encounter against the small west African country who, at 150 in the FIFA rankings, were the lowest-rank team coming into the 24-team tournament. Gambia, making their debut at the finals, had giant-killing wins over Tunisia and Guinea on their way to the last eight but were almost anonymous on Saturday as they saw little of the ball and spent almost all of the match on the back foot. Had Cameroon made better use of their opportunities, the scoreline might have been more emphatic. Vincent Aboubakar had three good first-half chances to open the scoring and add to his tournament goal tally of six.
