African Nations Group A - Cameroon 3 Ivory Coast 0

Cameroon are almost in the last eight of the African Nations Cup after a convincing 3-0 win over the Ivory Coast.

The Cameroon side need only one more point to make a place in the quarter finals a certainty and they face Togo in their last match.

The Ivory Coast must defeat co-hosts Ghana to stand a chance of making the next phase.

West Ham's Marc-Vivien Foe set up the win in the 29th minute with a powerful header that was driven over the goal line by incoming Raymond Kalla.

Real Madrid's Samuel Eto'o made it 2-0 in the 45th minute when he arrived in the area to hit a first time shot after a low and driven cross from Laurent Mayer.

The Ivory Coast improved marginally in the second half as Cameroon lost interest in the contest they believed correctly was already won but Patrick Mboma hit a great swerving shot in injury time to add gloss to the score for his side.
