Europe outclasses Africa (08.02.2005)
Portugal beat Cameroon 3-1 in Soke on Tuesday as Africa`s poor form in the Meridian Cup continued.
In the day`s other results hosts Turkey beat Sierra Leone 1-0, Spain defeated Egypt 1-0 while France won 2-0 against Nigeria.
On a sunny but cold afternoon Cameroon were outclassed by their Portuguese opponents.
The Cameroonians did at least score their first goal of the competition through captain Guy Thindouba`s late penalty, but this was a mere consolation after Portugal had gone 3-0 up after 75 minutes.
One big difference between the sides was age.
While Portugal fielded 18-year-olds, Cameroon have brought none of the team that won the African under 17 championship in 2003 and played with 16-year-olds instead.
Decked out in a red shorts and yellow socks and shirts, the Africans could not match their bright strip
andperformed poorly in the first half.
Trailing 1-0 at the break to Antonio Nunes Ferreira`s volley which followed two errors in defence, the Cameroonians then went 2-0 down after 54 minutes.
Portuguese captain Bruno Vilela Gama broke free on the right-hand side of the Cameroon box before firing home a shot that goalkeeper Blasius Otiah should have kept out.
After substitute Brice Owana wasted Cameroon`s best chance of the match missing the target from just eight yards out, Julian da Silva scored Portugal`s third with an incisive run and a cool finish.
But Owana was not to be denied and the forward won a penalty when felled in the box and Thindouba slotted home for Cameroon`s first goal in three Meridian Cup matches.
Tuesday`s results mean that Europe have won the continental battle with four matches remaining on Thursday.
