Pile on: Cameroon celebrate scoring their second goal, through Geremi

Mbia opened the scoring when the Tunisia keeper collided with two defenders as he came for a deep cross, leaving Mbia to head into an empty net.

Geremi doubled the advantage shortly after with a stunning free-kick, but he was trumped 10 minutes before the break as Chaouki Ben Saada produced an even better effort to leave Carlos Kameni groping at thin air.

The keeper redeemed himself a few minutes later when he recovered from being beaten by a thundering Francileudo dos Santos shot which rebounded off the bar to Ben Saada whose fierce shot was clawed away at full stretch by the keeper.
