Cameroon 1-0 Honduras
A solitary Stephane Mbia strike was enough for Cameroon to overcome a blunt Honduran challenge in Group D at the Olympic Games.
Mbia struck the game's only goal with 15 minutes to play, to which Honduras had no reply.
From a distance of 20 yards, the Rennes midfielder unleashed a low drive that crept just inside Kevin Hernandez’s post.
The 2000 Olympic champions had a number of opportunities to add to their one-goal tally, with Christian Bekamenga being particularly culpable of squandering a golden opportunity.
The win takes Cameroon to four points after their opening day 1-1 draw with South Korea. After this second successive defeat, Honduras are already eliminated from this year's Olympic competition.
Line-ups:
Cameroon: A Tingyemb - A Ghomsy, A Bikey, A Song, B Kingue - E Alexis, S Mbia, F Songo’o, A Fongang - C Bekamenga, G Bebbe.
Honduras: K Hernandez - Q Arzu, D Molina, S Caballero, E Norales - E Martinez, R Padilla, R Nunez, J Claros, H Thomas - C Pavon.
