Cameroon has joined Nigeria and Ivory Coast at the 2014 World cup in Brazil. The indomitable lions of Cameroon defeated the 'Carthage Eagles' of Tunisia by 4-1 in Yaounde. The 2nd leg third round qualifier turned out to be a bad fixture for the North Africans.
Tunisia were forced to a goalless draw in the first leg. The 2004 African champions needed a score draw or an outright win to qualifier, but Cameroon confirmed their place at Brazil 2014 world cup on Sunday. Webo gave the hosts the lead after 4 minutes of action. A sloppy defending by the visitors gave Samuel Eto'o Fils' team mates the chance to jubilate. On the half hour mark, the Central Africans doubled their lead.
After the restart,Tunisia pulled a goal back,but the Cameroonians added two more goals through John Makoun.
