Cameroon got an early goal when Merime headed home after receiving a cross from the right from Kingue Mpondo. Stephen Mbia deserves a mention for his run down the wing, after which he delivered the ball to Mpondo, who then gave it to Merime.

The Africaans doubled the lead as Bertin found the net just before the break. Bertin, who had scored in the 2-2 draw with Syria in his team's last match, struck when his well-directed header off Ashu Tambe's low cross found the target to make it 2-0.

Merime found his second of the day when he converted Mpondo Kingue's assist.

The move started from the back as Ngome Lawrence pushed the ball to Paul Bebey who broke through the Nepal defence before giving a through ball to Merime, who made use of the chance without much difficulty. The absence of Nepal defenders near the post helped him to an extent.

If their domination in the first half was not enough, Cameroon continued to torment the Nepalese even more after the change of ends, scoring three times to leave the Himalayan nation devastated.

After Merime scored his second, Bertin added one more when he converted Jean-Patrick's pass to make it 4-0, Mosamo completed the domination.
