African Nations Cup - Cameroon 3 Togo 0

African champions Cameroon eased into the quarter finals with a 3-0 win over Togo.

Cameroon had already assured themselves of top place in Group C but took until 52 minutes to break through the Togo defence.

Geremi Njitap crossed for the ball to bounce in front of Manchester City defender Lucien Mettomo who side footed the chance on the half-volley.

Samuel Eto'o was put through by Patrick Mboma to finish cooly in the 80th minute and nine minutes later Salomon Olembe lashed in a cross from Eto'o from close range.

Cameroon will now meet either Egypt or Zambia in next Monday's third set of quarter finals.

Togo ran out of puff in the second half but a spectacular long range lob by Eric Akoto almost gave them a first half lead. Dodji Dogbe forced a save from Cameroon goalkeeper Alioum Boukar and Kader Coubadja hit the chance over the open goal from close range on the follow up.
