Johannesburg (AFP) - Early goals got Cameroon back on the winning trail in 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying as they defeated Sierra Leone 2-0 in Yaounde Wednesday.
Both came from close-range headers with Leonard Kweuke scoring on four minutes and captain Stephane Mbia three minutes later.
After starting Group D with victories over the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ivory Coast during September, Cameroon were held 0-0 by Sierra Leone four days ago.
That draw was also played at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaounde with Sierra Leone ceding home advantage because of the Ebola epidemic.
Cameroon have 10 points from four games and will qualify for the finals if second-place Ivory Coast defeat DR Congo in Abidjan later Wednesday.
The Indomitable Lions won the Cup of Nations title four times between 1984 and 2002, but failed to qualify for the last two editions.
