Cameroon Fail To Qualify For Nations Cup!!!!!! by manuch(m): 8:44pm On Oct 14, 2012
There were more shocks on the second day of the second-leg final-round ties of 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifiers on Sunday.

Seven ties were concluded on Saturday and among the eight to be played on Sunday, Cameroon were involved in a mighty upset as they fell to Cape Verde, who qualified for the tournament for the first time.

Elsewhere, Ethiopia produced an excellent comeback to go through, along with Angola and Niger.

Cameroon 2-1 Cape Verde (Agg: 2-3)
The tiny Cape Verde Islands knocked out former World Cup quarter-finalists Cameroon to pull off one of the biggest shocks in the competition's history, despite defeat in Yaounde.

Cape Verde - a country country with a population of about 500,000 - had claimed the first tie 2-0 and they strengthened their position after only 22 minutes of the return game when Portuguese-based striker Heldon scored with a free-kick.

Cameroon were level minutes later through Achille Emana but still needed three more goals to overturn the aggregate deficit, a task that seemed beyond their dispirited performance.

The hosts got their second goal four minutes into stoppage when 16-year-old substitute Fabrice Olinga came on to score at the end of a cross from Samuel Eto'o.

The return of four-time African Footballer of the Year Eto'o and a change of coach ahead of the second leg did little to resurrect Cameroon's fortunes.

They now miss out on the Nations Cup for a second successive tournament, suggesting the era of a regular role as one of African football's superpowers is at an end.

Cape Verde, with a team drawn from their extensive diaspora in Europe, toyed at times with their much-vaunted hosts, passing the ball around at pedestrian pace in the second half to waste time.
