Match report
Congo and Cameroon finished 1-1 in the Africa Cup of Nations - Qualification on Tuesday, September 29, sharing a 1-1 draw. Congo were ahead at the interval, but the final score leaves the sides level after two goals in all.
How it unfolded
The half-time score was 1-0, with Congo in front. The match ended 1-1; Congo scored one goal and Cameroon scored one goal. The available details establish the score at the interval and the final result, but not when either goal was scored, so the sequence cannot be taken further.
The numbers
Congo registered 6 shots, including 4 on target. Cameroon recorded 5 shots, with 1 on target. Those figures show that both sides had attempts, while the shots-on-target totals capture how often those efforts tested the opposing goalkeeper. The final score was 1-1, and the goal count was two goals in all.
Possession was 38% for Congo and 62% for Cameroon. The possession figures describe how the ball was shared, but do not by themselves explain the draw. Each side won 3 corners, so the corner count was level. Congo made 1 save and Cameroon made 3; those numbers record the goalkeepers' interventions without changing the fact that each side scored one goal and one goal, respectively. Taken together, the figures offer different views of the game: possession, attempts, shots on target, corners and saves. None alters the central outcome, a 1-1 draw.
