Ndassi Ngueni scores in Lions’ debute

The Unisport of Huat Nkam defender,Ngweni Ndassi Kadiang scored on his second international appearance after coming in as a substitute to save Volker Finke’s side from a shock defeat in the hands of Thailand after a 3-2 victory.
    Ndassi was Cameroon’s hero after his debut strike salvaged a 2-3 victory away to Thailand in their latest Asian tour friendly.
    Ndassi, who came on as a second half substitute, grabbed a decisive winner with three minutes remaining to spare his side’s blushes.
    All eyes were on Finke’s men as they looked to keep in winning ways after defeating Indonesia a few days earlier. However, it was the host that took the lead at the 31st minute before Aurélien Chedjou put Thailand 2-0 up with a bizarre own goal.
    Chedjou unaware that he was under no pressure, nicked the ball from his keeper’s arms and directed it goal-wards.

    But Cameroon found a superb riposte when Benjamin Moukandjo in the first half restored parity before Njie Clinton completed the quick reversal by slotting home in the 78th minute from a penalty spot.
    That appeared to be enough to seal a draw as the hosts kept the Lions at bay.
    Cameroon flew out of the blocks like a team looking to silence their critics and took the lead thanks to Ndassi’s close range at the 87th minute saving Cameroon from the prospect of a humiliating draw against Thailand.
    This gave Cameroon a 3-2 victory over their FIFA low ranking host, Thailand
    The result cranks up the pressure on Finke with his side unconvincing yet again, and with his stay as Cameroon Coach now in doubt.
