Cameroon scrape into last eight

Webo, who came on as a second-half replacement for Jean Makoun, provided Samuel Eto'o and Landry Nguemo with perfect back passes as Cameroon twice fought back to finish second in Group D.

They will take on Egypt, who beat them in the 2008 final, in Benguela, while Zambia, who went through at the top of Group D on goals scored after beating Gabon 2-1, will face Nigeria in Lubango.

Cameroon piled on the pressure but proved too clumsy as Tunisia's back four held on.

Tunisia keeper Aymen Mathlouthi was lucky to escape a straight red card after denying Eto'o a clear chance when he handled the ball just outside the box on the half hour.

Webo was brought on just after the break to replace midfielder Jean Makoun and the move immediately paid off as the Mallorca striker's back pass found Eto'o, who coolly slotted home to level the contest in the 47th.
