JOHANNESBURG, Sept 11 (AFP): A new Cameroon team continued a great start to 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying by thrashing star-stacked Ivory Coast 4-1 in Yaounde Wednesday.
Clinton N'Jie and Vincent Aboubakar scored twice each for the Indomitable Lions with reigning African Footballer of the Year Yaya Toure on target for the Elephants.
Cameroon opened their Group D campaign with a 2-0 victory in the Democratic Republic of Congo last Saturday and have a three-point lead after two matchdays.
The Congolese bounced back to overcome Sierra Leone 2-0 in Lubumbashi in another early kick-off and share second place with the Ivorians on three points.
Sierra Leone, forced to play a home fixture in DR Congo because of the Ebola crisis, are pointless having lost in Ivory Coast four days ago.Germany-born Cameroon coach Volker Finke recently axed 13 of the World Cup squad that fared disastrously in Brazil three months ago, including talisman Samuel Eto'o.
