S-H-O-C-K-E-R: Cape Verde knocks Cameroon out of 2013 African Cup of Nations

There were more shocks on the second day of the second-leg final-round ties of 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifiers on Sunday. Among the eight to be played on Sunday, Cameroon suffered a mighty upset when they lost to Cape Verde, who qualified for the tournament for the first time.

However, the return of Samuel Eto'o wasn't
enough for Cameroon, which missed out on another African Cup of Nations on Sunday as Cape Verde held its nerve to qualify for its first major tournament.
Cameroon won their second-leg game 2-1 at home in Yaounde with striker Eto'o back as captain, but Cape Verde still made history following a surprising 2-0 win in the first leg last month for a 3-2 aggregate victory in the final round of qualifiers.
Four-time winner Cameroon also didn't qualify for the 2012 tournament and will miss successive African championships for the first time in more than 30 years.
