Afcon 2019: By The Numbers - Cameroon 0-0 Ghana

Despite Ghana having three of Africa's finest in midfield, Clarence Seedorf&nbsp;should be a proud man as his side dominated possession throughout the night.&nbsp;
Cameroon enjoyed&nbsp;58.7% of the ball possession in the first half and&nbsp;55.7% in the second half, a clear sign of their superiority on the night.&nbsp;

They also had 614 touches on the ball, while&nbsp;Ghana only had 506.&nbsp;

Indomitable Lions dominate possession

Cameroon's defensive duo&nbsp;Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik and Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui completed more passes than anyone on the field with each recording 60 successful passes.&nbsp;

Ngadeu & Biyik: The pass masters

Perhaps Christian Atsu's injury was also an attacking setback as&nbsp;Ghana's offensive threat proved unsuccessful given they only managed one shot on target in the entire 90 minutes.&nbsp;
Cameroon also showed more offensive intent, managing&nbsp;135 forward passes compared to Ghana's&nbsp;106.

Cameroon also enjoyed eight successful take on's while Ghana managed only seven.&nbsp;

The defending champions also delivered more crosses into the box, 21, than Ghana, 11, thus Richard Ofori was forced into two crucial&nbsp;saves while Andre Onana only made one save.&nbsp;

Where Ghana was superior, positive actions in the opposition box, 21 compared to Cameroon's 11, they did not make the desired impact.&nbsp;&nbsp;

They also had more shots inside the box, seven, while Cameroon managed five, two on target.&nbsp;

Ghana's offensive threat nullified 

It was another night of mixed emotions for Mubarak Wakaso who was Ghana's highest passer with 41 passes completed on the night.&nbsp;
Wakaso also recovered the ball&nbsp;nine times, more than any of his Black Stars teammates.&nbsp;

But he also had more shots off target, two,&nbsp;and was also amongst the highest, seven, in unsuccessful passes.&nbsp;

He was also beaten by the opposition, three times, more than anyone else on the field.&nbsp;

Mixed emotions for Wakaso

As you'd expect with Christian Bassogog and Clinton Njie down the flanks, the Indomitable Lions used width as a part of their masterplan with 65% of their attacks coming from wide positions. However, after 21 crosses without reward, their tactic proved futile.&nbsp;
