U17 World Cup: Argentina defeat Cameroon to leave Lions on the brink of elimination

Cameroon suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Argentina on Thursday, and the loss at Estadio Kleber Andrade has pushed them closer to elimination from the Fifa U-17 World Cup in Brazil.

Having also lost their opening game against Tajikistan 1-0, the African champions are rooted to the bottom of Group E.

The Lions need a win against Spain, who defeated Tajikistan 5-1 earlier, in their final game on Sunday, November 3 if they are to have any chance of progressing to the Round of 16 as one of the four best third-placed sides.
