Rigobert Song, the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon head coach, has noted that his side has learnt one or two things from the second round defeat to Nigeria.
The Indomitable Lions exited the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations following a humiliating 2-0 defeat to the Super Eagles.
The Cameroon gaffer noted that he would work on the lapses that made them lose against the Super Eagles.
Ademola Lookman scored two goals one in each half to send the Cameroonians packing from the tournament on Saturday night.
The West Africans put up a spirited performance that helped them win the game and secure quarter-final qualification.
Cameroon didn’t manage a shot on target for the entire duration of the game.
“We had the youngest team; there are players who are discovering. We gave the opponent the opportunity to put us in difficulty; it’s part of the game.
“As I’ve said before, we are rebuilding. It’s by making these mistakes that we will grow,” Song told reporters after the game.
“Football is like that. The AFCON is a competition that is played on all levels: technical, tactical, and especially mental.
“I have a youthful team that is discovering; it played, and we still have a lot to learn.”
The Super Eagles will face Angola at Stade Felix Hougpouet Boigny for a semi-final ticket on February 2nd.
