Gambia equalised but their goal was ruled out by VAR for a clear handball. Cameroon were moments away from being knocked out of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) at the group stage following a Diego Maradona-esque handball goal, but this time VAR came to their rescue. Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana watched the chaotic scenes unfold from the bench in another wild evening of African football as a major upset was narrowly avoided. But Gambia scored twice and led with just five minutes remaining, with Senegal also ahead in Group C's other game, meaning that Cameroon were moments away from being told to pack their bags following a disappointing campaign. Then an own goal from James Gomez gave them a lifeline, but a draw was not enough unless Sadio Mane's Senegal got another goal in their victory over Guinea.
