FEZ, Morocco, Nov 15 (AP): Cameroon qualified for its sixth World Cup, beating Morocco 2-0 Saturday behind goals from Achille Webo and Samuel Eto'o.
After missing the 2006 tournament, the Indomitable Lions got off to a slow start in the final round of qualifying for 2010, losing to Togo and tying Morocco. But Cameroon (4-1-1) won its final four matches to finish first in Group A with 13 points, four ahead of second-place Gabon (3-3).
The six World Cup appearances for Cameroon are the most among African nations.
At Lome, Togo (2-2-2) defeated visiting Gabon 1-0 on Floyd Ayite's goal off a pass from Emmanuel Adebayor in the 70th minute.
