Mbeumo couldn't save Cameroon.

In the early hours of January 10th, host nation Morocco advanced to the semi-finals of the 2025 CAN Cup after a convincing 2-0 victory over Cameroon in Rabat.

With home advantage and a superior squad, "The Atlas Lions" easily defeated Cameroon in the quarter-finals of the 2025 CAN Cup. Real Madrid star Brahim Diaz once again delivered an outstanding performance, opening the scoring in the first half and helping Morocco easily control the match.

In the second half, Ismail Saibari delivered the finishing blow, securing a victory for the home team against Cameroon. This win held special significance. Not only was it a huge boost in confidence, but it also ended a long-standing curse against Cameroon.

Prior to this tournament, Morocco had never beaten the "Indomitable Lions" in the CAN Cup in their three previous encounters. This was also only Morocco's third victory against Cameroon in 13 meetings across all competitions.

However, in this match, Morocco was superior in every aspect. They pressed high, controlled the ball, and pushed Cameroon deep into their own half. The Cameroonian stars didn't play well. Mbeumo was still the brightest star of the "Indomitable Lions," but he couldn't make a difference.

The Manchester United striker was frequently tightly marked by opponents and received very little support. This defeat for Cameroon is good news for MU, as Mbeumo will soon return to the "Red Devils" squad next week. Besides Mbeumo, another player who also played in this match was Noussair Mazraoui.

The Moroccan left-back was also one of the standout players in the match. He will continue to help the home team advance to the semi-finals. They will face the winner of the match between Algeria and Nigeria in the final quarter-final.
