The Intermediate Lions of Cameroon have recorded an emphatic 2-0 win over the National Selection of Chad (Les Sao).

The win was as a result of two goals scored by Samuel Nlend 35′ and NDI Renee 56″.

The match on Saturday January 25, 2020 at the Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium was the first international friendly for the Intermediate Lions of Cameroon being part of preparations for the Total CHAN Cameroon 2020 due to take place from April 4-25.

Lions coach Yves Clement Arroga has expressed satisfaction with the win but admits that there is still much work to be done. “We have to continue working to make sure we have a better team before the competition begins.” He has promised fans of the Intermediate Lions more friendlies in the days ahead to ensure that their team puts up a better performance when the competition finally begins.

The friendly brought to an end the third preselection training camp which was programmed from January 6-27, 2020.

Coach Yves Clement Arroga is expected to publish the final shortlist before Janaury runs out ahead of the fourth regrouping. The final list is expected by mid March but so far the coach has maintained that he and his collaborators are looking only for the best who will defend the nation with pride during the continental soccer meeting at home.

Chadian Coach Emmanuel Tregoat has praised Cameroon for puting up a good performance while blaming his players for lack of experience and non-assimilation training lessons. He however maintains that his team is under reconstruction as they prepare for AFCON qualifiers.
