Cameroon will play a decisive qualification match against Switzerland for the second round today Tuesday in Edmonton. Cameroon Concord's Chief football correspondent has hinted that the Lionesses will beat the Swiss 3 goals to 1. The Indomitable Lionesses have arrived in the city of Edmonton where their last group stage match will take place. Despite the stone wall task, the Lionesses continue to distill good humor and joy of life around them with the hope that history will be made in Canada. The ladies are focused on Switzerland, an opponent who looks tough with regards to their thrashing 10-1 of Ecuador during the 2nd day of Group C.
The Indomitable Lionesses have promised to stay focused throughout the match. They will particularly be wary of Switzerland's Fabienne Humm, author of three goals in five minutes against Ecuador and signing the fastest hat-trick in Women's World Cup. Attention also will be on Ramona Bachmann and Lara Dickenmann, both of whom displayed a beautiful classic with Lyon, finalist in the UEFA Champions League this year. Cameroon and Switzerland have three points. But the Helvetians have a better goal difference (+8) as Lionesses (+5). The battle of nerves is all about getting a second place to qualify for the second round. It is important to observe here that the four best third in the group stage will qualify for the knockout stages.

A goal in the dying seconds of the match from Vincent Aboubacar handed Cameroon a narrow 1-0 win over Mauritania at the Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo in the 2017 Group M Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match yesterday.
The win in Yaounde sees the Indomitable Lions go top of their qualifying group ahead of South Africa and Gambia who played to a goalless draw on Saturday.
Cameroon controlled the opening stanza of the match with their slick passing and hardworking midfield, but despite their dominance they struggled to break down a resilient Mauritanian defence.
Consequently, decent chances on goal in the first half were few and far between, and when openings were created the Indomitable Lions’ finishing was poor.
The second half was more of the same as the Mauritanian’s defence continued to frustrate the home side.
Aboubacar did find the back of the net midway through the second half, but his goal was disallowed because he was in an off-sides position.
Cameroon, nonetheless, continued to push forward and were finally rewarded in the 90th minute when a clinical finish from Aboubacar handed them the 1-0 win.
Cameroon are next in action in their Afcon qualifying group in September away to Gambia while Mauritania will host South Africa.

Cameroon is looking to host Mauritania in a 2017 Group M Africa Cup of Nations qualifier match in Yaounde today Sunday.
Kick-off is at 4:00pm:
The four-time Afcon champions are looking to turn around their poor showings of late which have seen them unable to qualify for the continental tournament in 2012 and 2013, and then suffer a first round exit in the 2015 edition. Indomitable Lions coach Volker Finke has a tough task ahead of him with a number of key players missing from his squad for this opening qualifying match against Mauritania.
Volker has to do without the likes of Schalke players Joël Matip and Eric Choupo-Moting, goalkeeper Pierre Sylvain Abogo and left-back Ambroise Oyongo Bitolo. Finke, however, has injected new blood into the side hoping to breathe new life into the side in the form of FC Sochaux’s 22-year-old striker Karl Toko Ekambi, Paris Saint-Germain’s 17-year-old midfielder Félix Eboa Eboa and FC Cluj’s 22-year-old striker Justin Mengolo.
Cameroon will also be coming into this match high in confidence after beating Burkina Faso 3-2 and drawing 1-1 with DR Congo in the build-up to this match. Mauritania, on the other hand, are minnows on the African continent and will be looking to cause an upset against Cameroon. Coached by Corentin Martins, Mauritania have never reach the continental tournament, but their mentor is confident they can cause a few upsets. “We need to keep faith, even if we are here to learn at the highest level. We are going to give our best to seal this qualification,” Martins is quoted as saying. The other two teams in Group M are South Africa and Gambia who face each other on Saturday in Durban.
