John Mikel obi and Odion Ighalo based in China spearheaded the routing of the indomitable Lions of Cameroon with a rather strange tactics. Slow midfield and defensive play...and an attack faster than lightning. With speed racers Victor Moses from the outside left and Moses Simon from outside right and Odion Ighalo from the middle and mikel obi saddled with providing the passes. Cameroonian defenders could not just contain the too much racing around and covering of distance of about 580km in just first half.
It was just a matter of time and Mikel curled a pass to Odion, who took a long range shot inside the net for the first goal. And 15 minutes later Mikel taped the ball from a Victor Moses cross into the net for the second goal. With the game raped up by Moses' third goal..and iIheanacho was introduced into the game to put icing on the cake.
