Mboma`s magic sinks Congo
African champions Cameroon have Patrick Mboma to thank for their winning start to their Nations Cup campaign.
His superb long-range strike was all that separated the Indomitable Lions from Democratic Republic of Congo in the opening Group C fixture on Sunday.
Mboma, who plays for Italian Serie A club Parma, struck with a left-footed 35-metre drive in the 40th minute.
The shot, which came out of the blue, was one of the few strokes of brilliance in what was otherwise a lacklustre encounter.
Cameroon were fragile in defence and failed to play as a team. It was not the sort of performance expected from the champions.
Mboma wasted a great opportunity early in the game when he slipped as he tried to shoot.
Shakey perfomance
At the last Nations Cup he was also guilty of squandering chances.
But his goal came at a time when the DR Congo were looking as if they might take the lead.
Shabani Nonda and Newcastle United striker Lua-Lua both had shots which went just wide with the score at 0-0.
Lua-Lua caused problems throught the match for Cameroon`s defence.
The second half began with another Congolese chance as Lua-Lua, just failed to connect with a Muyaya Kayembe`s cross.
However Mboma had the opportunity of putting the game beyond reach, but this time his shot flew over the bar.
It was not the most convincing of starts for the defending champions.
But with three points secured, the Cameroonians are now in a great position to progress to the quarter-finals.
