Club-vs-country match-ups do not traditionally feature in official records, so Anatole Abang did not technically win a cap for Cameroon in his national team's 1-1 tie with Olympique de Marseille on October 5.
Nonetheless, he played in the Indomitable Lions' warm-up for their October 9 World Cup qualifying match against Algeria.
Head coach Hugo Broos took full advantage of the friendly, swapping out almost the entire team at half-time so he could see two quite different lineups in one game. Marseille made several substitutions as well, though most were made toward the mid-point of the second half.
