Depleted Cameroon give Lavagne a winning start
Depleted Cameroon sank Sudan 3-1 in Morocco Friday to give French coach Denis Lavagne a winning start in charge of the fallen African giants
Published in Ahram Online on 12 - 11 - 2011

Enoh Eyong and Benoit Angbwa netted within five minutes during the first half for the injury-ravaged Indomitable Lions and after Mohamed Tahir halved the deficit, Samuel Eto'o closed the scoring eight minutes from time in Marrakech.
Cameroon missed out on the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations, finishing a distant second behind Senegal in a pool completed by the Democratic Republic of Congo and Mauritius.
Failure to make the tournament for the first time since 1994 led to Spanish coach Javier Clemente being axed despite glowing praise from four-time African Footballer of the Year Eto'o.
Lavagne takes charge after turning Cotonsport from northern cotton town Garoua into the dominant force in Cameroon club football and he will be encouraged by the victory after a glut of late drop-outs.
France-based Henri Bedimo, Gaetan Bong and Nicolas Nkoulou and fellow defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto from English Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur were among the withdrawals.
Giant centre-back Yaya Bafana could not make it either as he is playing for hosts Esperance of Tunisia against Wydad Casablanca of Morocco Saturday in the second leg of the African Champions League final.
Sudan, who squeezed into a Cup of Nations to be co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea between January 21 and February 12 as one of the best two group runners-up, face Uganda Sunday while Cameroon tackle Morocco.
Senegal, considered a serious threat to African title favourites Ivory Coast and Ghana, dished out a 4-1 hammering to fellow qualifiers Guinea in Mantes-la-Ville on the outskirts of Paris.
The Teranga Lions emphasised the potency of their strike force through goals from Nguirane Ndaw, Souleymane Camara, Dame Ndoye and Mame Diouf before veteran Pascal Feindouno converted a late penalty for the Sylli Nationale.
Burkina Faso came from behind to draw 1-1 with Mali in Parisian suburb Saint Leu-la-Foret in another clash of Cup of Nations qualifiers and the Burkinabe have a further French date Tuesday against Guinea.
A novel fixture between shock Cup of Nations qualifiers Niger and Belarus in United Arab Emirates city Dubai was postponed.
