The evaluation fixture took place on Monday, July 27, 2026, at the FECAFOOT Technical Centre in Odza. The practice match serves as a crucial tactical filter for head coach Yvan Kenmoe’s coaching staff as they ramp up preparations for the upcoming 2026 UNIFFAC U-20 Championship.
Breaking the Deadlock
The junior national side established absolute control over the game’s momentum from the opening whistle, testing the domestic academy’s defensive layout with rapid combinations.
The continuous pressure paid dividends in the 30th minute when forward Bata Juvenal pounced on a failed clearance inside the box, smashing a powerful strike past the goalkeeper to send the U-20 Lions into the interval with a 1–0 advantage.
Defensive Resilience and the Late Cushion
Vision Foot Académie adjusted their shape in the second half, mounting an aggressive high-pressing trap that created several clear-cut opportunities. However, Cameroon’s goalkeeper, Adjim Asael, stood tall between the posts, delivering vital consecutive saves to preserve the clean sheet.
With only minutes left on the referee’s clock, the academy defense suffered a complete loss of concentration. Midfielder Nkam Thomas capitalized on the error, doubling the lead with a clinical finish to permanently lock in the 2–0 victory.
Road to the UNIFFAC Tournament
