Cameroon will face hosts Morocco in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) after goals from Junior Tchamadeu and Christian Kofane gave them a 2-1 win over a South Africa side led by their former coach Hugo Broos.
After a bright start from the South Africans, it was a stroke of luck which helped set up Stoke City right-back Tchamadeu for the opening goal in the 34th minute.
When a corner was half-cleared, Carlos Baleba's shot played pinball inside the penalty area, first striking Bafana Bafana midfielder Nkosinathi Sibisi and then also Indomitable Lions defender Samuel Kotto before dropping kindly for Tchamadeu to tuck home from close range, with the goal confirmed following a long video assistant referee (VAR) check for offside.
Cheers Wessex. Happy New Year to you too and fellow boarders
I am off to bed now and can confirm that Col U are currently still undefeated in 2026 at time of writing and I am hoping that will still be the case when I wake up on the 2nd!
I have also predicted a Col U win and Payne to score first!

Cheers Wessex. Managed to watch it without any spoilers.....
Basically a cobbled XI vs a West Ham U21 (or as Danny C said U23) team that have been playing with each other (and winning things) since U8s probably.
Shame that non of our youngsters, reserves did enough to be in contention for a starting place - but I would rather a fit starting XI for Saturday, then a win in this competion and a few injuries for the weekend.
Thought Mbick looked confident when stepping up to take the penalty - but I had to replay the action after the pentalty again to see how Lisbie managed to miss the rebound - turns out Mbick blocked it on the line otherwise would have been a certain goal!
Nevermind - as the old saying goes "concerntrate on the league" and "there's always next season"
As for the 0-4 wasn't that versus Spurs when they bought on a 20 million pound youth teamer?
Just Googled this and found:
7:30pm, Tuesday 19th September 2023. Colchester United 0-5 Tottenham Hotspur U21.
Let's have a look at the Spurs goalscorers to see 'Where are they now', as this competition was meant to act as a springboard for young "stars of the future" to gain experience before featuring for the first team?!?
J Donley (33rd minute and 6th minute) J Soonsup-Bell (53rd minute, 73rd minute) W Lankshear (60th minute)
J Donley: Jamie Paul Donley (born 3 January 2005) is a Northern Irish professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL Championship team Stoke City on loan from Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. Born in Northern Ireland and raised in England, he was a youth international for both countries, before opting to play for the Northern Ireland national team at senior level: 2024–2025 → Leyton Orient (loan) 39 (8) 2025– → Stoke City (loan) 4 (0)
Jude Jacob Soonsup-Bell (Thai: จู๊ด ซุ่นทรัพย์-เบลล์; born 10 January 2004) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for EFL League Two club Grimsby Town. Born in England, he plays for the Thailand national team. 2024–2025 Córdoba 7 (0) 2025 → Sanluqueño (loan) 13 (1) 2025– Grimsby Town 6 (0)
William Terence Lankshear (born 20 April 2005) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for EFL Championship club Oxford United, on loan from Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. 2025 → West Bromwich Albion (loan) 11 (0) 2025– → Oxford United (loan) 13 (4)
Make of that what you will
I also Googled 'which current players in the England squad have played in the EFL Trophy'
and this was the answer: "Several current England squad players have EFL Trophy experience, including Ezri Konsa, Marc Guehi, John Stones, James Garner, Declan Rice, Jarrad Branthwaite, Cole Palmer, and Phil Foden, many starting with academy sides (like Chelsea U21s for Guehi, Man Utd U21 for Garner) or on early loans, showcasing how the competition builds future senior internationals."
So I guess you could say that the competition is working for the Premier League teams.
