Africa Cup of Nations

Benjamin Moukandjo saw his opener cancelled out, with the spoils shared in a contest which leaves Africa Cup of Nations Group A tough to call

Issoufou Dayo's second-half header saw Burkina Faso hold Cameroon to a 1-1 draw that keeps Africa Cup of Nations Group A wide open.

The centre-back headed in 15 minutes from time to cancel out a fine free-kick from Benjamin Moukandjo as both sides shared a point in their tournament opener at Stade d'Angondje.

These two finished top of their respective qualifying groups and it was a suitably even contest in Libreville, with both goalkeepers kept busy behind some less-then-convincing defences.
