Cameroonian sides win

Cotonsport are now top of Group B

It was a good weekend for the two Cameroonian sides in Group B of the Confederation Cup with both Cotonsport Garoua and Sable Batie winning at home.

On Sunday two goals in three minutes helped Sable beat Ghana's Hearts of Oak 2-0 while Cotonsport crushed Santos of South Africa 4-0.

Sable's goals came from Serge Emoleu in the 26th minute and then Herman Dzumafo three minutes later.

On Saturday Cotonsport beat Santos with two goals in each half.

Ahmadou Ngomna got them under way with the opener on 18 minutes.

Following a foul in the area, Cotonsport had a penalty - which was saved by the Santos goalkeeper - but Ngomna headed in from the resulting corner.

Nigerian Bitrus Minufu then doubled the Cameroonians' lead on 39 minutes, and Allaman Francios D'Koume put the game beyond doubt on the hour mark.

Hamadou Soussia finished things off nine minutes later.

The wins mean that the two Cameroonian sides top the group with Cotonsport leading the way on five points from three games and Sable a point behind them.

The next round of matches are in three weeks time with Cotonsport travelling to play Santos and Sable making the trip to face Hearts of Oak.
