It marked the team's first loss in nine outings. Cape Verde narrowly beat Ethiopia in a victory on Sunday to get off to a great start. Julio Tavares was the star of the show, scoring right before halftime. The team has now won four of its last five games across all competitions since a defeat to Nigeria last September. The two teams last met in the African World Cup qualifiers back in Burkina Faso got a win. Cape Verde knows that avoiding defeat would put them in great position to make it through to the last But the triumph over Ethiopia at the Olembe Stadium was much more convincing and will come as a morale boost as they carry a major burden of expectation.

It was the second time Cameroon trailed in the tournament, but they needed only four minutes to equalise. Collins Fai, who had proven slovenly in defence when Ethiopia scored their goal, made amends with a quality cross and Toko Ekambi took advantage of poor marking to head home in the eighth minute.

The French-born striker rattled the woodwork with a header but Ethiopia were also dangerous on the counter-attack, catching out Cameroon repeatedly with their pace even if they did not have much possession. But they wilted soon after the start of the second half as Aboubakar scored twice in as many minutes.

Hassane Bande chested home the ball six minutes before halftime to secure a first Group A victory for his country, who lost their opening game to hosts Cameroon on Sunday. Burkina showed more attacking intent in yet another result, the 10th in 14 games at the tournament. Cape Verde rarely threatened, even after bringing on Ryan Mendes as a second-half substitute in the first appearance for their star player, who had been injured and was not expected to feature.
