Cameroon defender Ambroise Oyongo provided the Genius Moment of the first round of Africa Cup of Nations matches by salvaging a point for the Indomitable Lions against Mali.

The full-back, who plays for New York Red Bulls at club level, brilliantly brought down Raoul Loe’s lofted pass in the penalty area before slotting past goalkeeper Soumbeila Diakite to secure a 1-1 draw.

Oyongo’s goal, scored in the 84th minute, cancelled out Sambou Yatabare’s opener less than a quarter of an hour earlier.

Yatabare thought he had scored a dramatic second in added time but was flagged offside, and Cameroon escaped with a share of the spoils. view as web page http://naijasportgist..com/2015/01/the-new-york-red-bulls-full-back.html
