The tension was palpable as Cameroon hosted Zimbabwe on a mission to claim the top spot in the AFCON 2025 Qualifiers at the famed Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo. With both teams passionate about their quest for glory, fans were in for a treat. The atmosphere was electric, with plenty of sing-alongs in the stands, as even the most stoic supporters couldn't resist joining in the rhythm of the African drums.

As the game progressed, Cameroon's seasoned warriors battled hard against Zimbabwe's resurgent squad that had previously made headlines for their fiery performance in the qualifiers. In a moment of drama, Dzvukamanja found the net for Zimbabwe at the 73rd minute, sending waves of jubilation through their corner of the stadium!
