<p>In the stoppage time, Saudi Pro League player and former Liverpool star Mane found his first goal of the tournament, and setting his team up for the knockout stages, despite having one game left to play in Group C.</p>
<p>Although Jean-Charles Castelletto pulled one back for Cameroon in the 83rd minute, it had no effect in the game.</p>
<p><strong>Cameroon are yet to win a single match</strong> in their last two games at the 2023 AFCON and face the threat of elimination if they lose the next against Gambia, and Guinea gaining a point against Senegal.</p>
