Man Utd keeper Onana axed to bench as Cameroon reach AFCON round 16

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana was axed to the bench by Cameroon coach Rigobert Song last night.

Cameroon needed victory over Gambia to reach the AFCON knockouts - which was achieved 3-2.

Onana watched from the bench as his cousin Fabrice Ondoa stood strong for Cameroon between the posts.

Christopher Wooh's injury-time goal won a dramatic final group game.

Cameroon will now face Nigeria on Saturday, January 27 for a place in the quarterfinals.
