Georges Mandjeck

FCK midfielder Mandjeck will return to Kaiserslautern within the course of this week. Now, it is up to FCK head coach Marco Kurz, whether Mandjeck will turn out for the Red Devils in Monday’s match against Aachen.

Georges Mandjeck went the whole distance in the game against Egypt as Cameroon went ahead after 25 minutes when Achille Emana's dangerous corner was mistakenly diverted into his own goal by Egypt's captain Hassan, but the Indomitable Lions were unable to hold on to their lead for long. Having scored at the wrong end, he restored parity after 36 minutes as Kameni blundered badly by allowing his shot to bounce in front of him and find the bottom corner.

It was against the run of play, but Geremi's suicidal backpass, which may give him nightmares for years to come, was trapped by Egypt’s substitute Gedo who nipped in to nutmeg Kameni and deliver a hard blow for Cameroon. Egypt put the game beyond doubt three minutes later when Ahmed Hassan's free-kick was wrongly judged to have crossed the line after being punched on to the bar by Cameroon's shot-stopper Carlos Kameni.

The African Cup of Nations will continue with the two semi-finals on Thursday, January 28, 2010 before the final will take place on Monday, February 1, 2010.
