Charles-Hubert Itandje
Unlike the first leg, he had little to do here. Beaten by a lethal Akaichi goal but was a spectator for much of the game. -
61
Aurélien Chedjou Fongang
The Galatasaray defender did his job competently with much of the play taking place further up the pitch. -
82
Benoit Assou-Ekotto
Produced a typically mixed display. A real threat going forward but also had some suspect moments and almost conceded a penalty after the break. -
52
N. N'Koulou
Marshalled the backline well and is definitely one of the standout performers within the Cameroon defensive ranks ahead of the World Cup. -
112
Alex Song
Won the midfield battle alongside Makoun and produced a strong performance. -
60
Jean II Makoun
Man of the match. Scored two goals, one a thumping header and the second showing the composure of a striker to slot home. Was everywhere and produced some vital tackles and passes. -
53
Stéphane M'Bia
Slotted into defence and did a steady enough job but was perhaps wisely replaced on 70 minutes. -
61
Eyong Enoh
Decent enough without getting hugely involved but did what was required as Cameroon dominated much of the game. -
60
B. Moukandjo
Fantastic in the first half and the decision to bring him into the line-up certainly paid off. Direct running caused havoc down the left and scored a fine individual goal. Missed a glorious opportunity after the break but it was not costly. -
53
Pierre Achille Webo
Set Cameroon on their way to Brazil with an expertly-taken early goal. Came off midway through the second half but had played his part in a convincing wing. -
114
Eto'o
Did not get on the scoresheet himself but did put his issues with the national team to one side and produced a good all-round performance. Showed fine movement and played some good passes but not at his brilliant best.
Substitutions
-
11
D. Nounkeu
Came on for M’Bia in defence with 20 minutes remaining. -
10
Landry N'Guemo
A late change for Moukandjo, who had picked up a knock. -
41
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting
An excellent cameo. Made a real difference after coming on. His shot off the post led to Makoun’s goal and he created other opportunities for himself and his team-mates.
-
00
Moez Bin Sharifa
Saw plenty of action. Conceded four goals and did not look convincing at times, but still made some decent stops that prevented an even heavier defeat. -
01
Karim Haggui
Struggled to make his experience count as he and his team-mates failed to cope with Cameroon’s attacking play. -
00
Sayam Ben Youssef
All at sea defensively, almost gave away a penalty for handball and missed a glorious headed opportunity at the other end - not his finest match. -
00
Samah Derbali
Found to be out of his depth against Cameroon’s skilful attackers. -
01
Yassine Mikari
Would have been expected to put in a better performance in a game of such magnitude but, just like the rest of his team-mates, he proved a let-down. -
10
Hocine Ragued
Another one of Tunisia’s midfielders who was overrun by the likes of Song and Makoun as the visitors failed to get a foothold in the game early on. -
00
Wissem Ben Yahia
Created a great opportunity for Ben Youssef and performed reasonably well before he was replaced by Allagui late on in. -
01
Yassine Chikhaoui
Substituted at half-time after making no impact as Cameroon dominated the midfield battle. -
02
Mohamed Amine Chermiti
Replaced at the bteak after struggling to get involved and watched on as his replacement Akaichi strike within minutes of his arrival. -
20
Fakhereedine Ben Youssef
May have gone down too easily but felt he should have won a second-half penalty at 2-1 that would have turned the game. -
02
Saber Khlifa
The Marseille striker is one of the better-known players in the Tunisia line-up but he carried little threat over the course of the 90 minutes.
Substitutions
-
00
Fabien Camus
Neat and tidy with his passing after coming on at half-time. A positive introduction. -
10
Ahmed Akaichi
Made an immediate impact, scoring with a fantastic finish within minutes of entering the fray. Always a threat but missed an opportunity to bet a second in the closing stages. -
00
Sami Allagui
Came on as the last roll of the dice for Tunisia and couldn’t find an opportunity to score. ------------------- goal.com
