In a tightly contested African Nations Championship football match on January 24, 2023, at 19:00 EEST, Niger edged past Cameroon with a 1-0 victory, highlighted by a tight defensive performance and timely goal scoring. This performance was a result of a diligent teamwork from the Niger side that eventually contributed to this outcome.

The only goal of the game came from the home team, Niger, in the 69th minute (second half 01:08:46). This proved to be the difference between the two sides as Cameroon failed to recover, despite making some dangerous moves towards the end.

Though both sides shared an equal number of corner kicks, with three each, it was the exceptional defensive strategy displayed by Niger team which led them to secure their goalpost without conceding any. Moreover, both the teams also managed to keep their actions clean with no red cards, although each side had two players booked with yellow cards.

For Cameroon, their first causality came just two minutes into the game (first half 00:01:02) leading them into an early pressure which they could never really recover from. The second yellow card for Cameroon was given at the 61st minute (second half 01:00:23). Niger, comparatively, had a more disciplined first half with the first yellow card being given at the 40th minute (first half 00:39:43), followed by a second yellow card in the latter part of the second half at the 86th minute (second half 01:25:35).

Analyzing these statistics, it can be inferred that the goal scored by Niger, their consistent defence and more disciplined gameplay tipped the game in their favour. Despite this, Cameroon, who matched Niger in corner kicks and discipline, did pose a strong opposition, but couldn’t capitalize on their chances, thus leading to their defeat.

In conclusion, the 1-0 victory for Niger underlines the importance of taking the opportunities when they arrive, disciplined defence and driving forward with a well-coordinated team effort against any side as formidable as Cameroon.
