Cameroon First-Half Analysis
Charles Itandje:ย Looked a little nervy, but he saved well from Perisic's scuffed effort.
Nicolas Nkoulou:ย Composed display so far but nowhere to be seen for the goal.
Aurelien Chedjou:ย Solid but unspectacular.
Joel Matip:ย One bumbling run forward told the story of his team's first half.
Benoit Assou-Ekotto:ย Has quality when he wants to show it.
Alex Song:ย Moment of idiocy has cost his country dearly.
Stephane Mbia:ย Lack of end product hugely frustrating.
Eyong Enoh: Has energy in abundance.
Benjamin Moukandjo: Lively at the beginning but then tailed off.
Maxim Choupo-Moting: Taking up decent positions.
Vincent Aboubakar: His team's best player. Lively and dangerous.ย
Cameroon Second-Half Analysis
Charles Itandje:ย Hapless, clearly, but he's also unfortunate not to get more help from his defenders.
Nicolas Nkoulou:ย Quickly folded when the defence came under increased pressure following the Song red card.
Aurelien Chedjou:ย Replaced at half-time.
Joel Matip:ย Overrun in midfield by players of far higher quality.
Benoit Assou-Ekotto:ย Started to look disinterested and went missing for large periods.
Alex Song:ย Missed second half following first-half foolishness.
Stephane Mbia:ย Extremely poor and leggy. Game seemed too fast for him, as did former Sevilla teammate Ivanย Rakitic.
Eyong Enoh:ย Ran around a lot but to little effect.
Benjamin Moukandjo:ย Missed a sitter late on and was largely frustrating.
Maxim Choupo-Moting:ย Has so much promise but seems unwilling to utilise it correctly.
Vincent Aboubakar:ย Best player for his side throughout. Often offered for a pass and was lively until being replaced.
Dany Nounkeu: On at half-time but had little to no effect.
Pierre Webo: Brought a good save from Stipeย Pletikosa with a header.
Edgar Salli: Victim of a bad challenge by Eduardo.
