The highly anticipated 2016 CAF African Championships (CHAN) first leg clash between Cameroon and Congo ended in a 0-0 draw in Cameroon on Sunday afternoon.

Although it was expected that the Indomitable Lions would take their home advantage and manage to get a positive result against Congo, the match failed to produce the spark it promised to.

At half-time, both sides were held to a dull 0-0 draw and the second stanza was seen as a chance for both sides to turn the tables around.

However, the Red Devils also failed to grab a lead away from home as they were seeking to score away hoping to finish the clash at home next week.

Despite making strides to get goals, the second half could also not produce a winner with both nations settling for a dull goalless draw.

The 'Diables Rouges' are scheduled to host Volke Finke and his men next week hoping to take advantage of their home ground and get a win and book their spot in next year’s tournament in Rwanda.

The return leg is next weekend.
