Eto'o scored Cameroon's opener

African champions Cameroon will play next year's Nations Cup hosts Tunisia in the final of a four-team friendly tournament in Tunis.
Yesterday, Cameroon defeated Madagascar with an easy win while Tunisia reached the final through a marathon shoot-out, after struggling against nine-man Ghana.
First-half goals by Samuel Eto¿o Fils and Joseph Desire Job gave the Indomitable Lions victory as the Cameroonians dominated Madagascar, who were no match for the African champions.
Eto¿o scored the first goal in the 15th minute after a goalkeeping blunder and Job doubled matters two minutes before the interval.
Two goals by Ghana¿s Charles Amoah forced Tunisia to come from behind twice in a disappointing performance by the hosts.
Amoah gave Ghana the lead on the stroke of half-time, but Tunisia equalised immediately after the break through Imed Mhadhebi.
Amoah hit back straight away with his second of the game, but Nabil Missaoui made it 2-2 in the 55th minute.
Tunisia went on to win 8-7 in a penalty shoot-out.
This was the first game for the Black Stars since the appointment of the new coach Burkhard Ziese.
The Ghanaians will play Madagascar on Sunday in the third place play-off game.
