Goalkeeper Onana in his first match in the CAN Cup conceded 3 goals.
Andre Onana’s performance against Senegal
Goalkeeper Andre Onana caused a lot of buzz from public opinion after he asked to finish MU’s match against Tottenham in the Premier League before returning to Cameroon to attend the African Championship. Onana after the match against Tottenham flew to Ivory Coast and arrived on time, but was not registered for the draw with Guinea and was later caught expressing his frustration.
In the big match against defending champion Senegal, Onana returned to the starting goalkeeper position, but Cameroon suffered a 1-3 defeat, leaving them with only 1 point in the group stage after 2 matches. Although Cameroon in general played poorly and did not deserve a point, Onana was still judged to have made a mistake in the two goals he lost: He punched the ball out poorly in the first goal in the 16th minute, before diving too slowly with a low shot. Sadio Mane did not stretch in stoppage time of the second half.
Conceding 3 goals, Onana still left a “mark” in another way. In the 65th minute, Cameroon received a free kick more than 30 meters from Senegal’s goal and Pathe Ciss stood in front of the ball. At this time, Onana ran from the goal to the free kick to give advice to Ciss, but without knowing what they said to each other, Ciss then kicked the ball straight to the sideline to help Senegal get a free kick.
Netizens were laughing at Onana in this situation. Many people compared this move to the time Onana scolded Harry Maguire in a match at the beginning of this season for MU, thinking that Onana intentionally drew attention to himself even though he did not play well and did not complete his mission. his service.
With only 1 point after 2 matches, Cameroon will have to try to win against Gambia in the final match to keep hope of continuing. Otherwise, Andre Onana will soon have to return to play for MU while CAN continues.
