Cameroon, the reigning champions, have maintained their position at the top of Group F after a goalless draw with Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations on June 30, 2019.

The Indomitable Lions, who had beaten Ghana 2-0 in the 2017 semi-finals, came closest to scoring in the first half when Christian Bassogog's effort was denied by Ghanaian goalkeeper Richard Ofori.

However, Ghana almost won the game in the dying minutes when substitute Owusu Kwabena struck the crossbar and Andrew Yiadom had a shot saved by Ofori.

Clarence Seedorf's side is two points clear at the top of the group before Benin play Guinea-Bissau on June 30, 2019.

With four of the six third-placed teams qualifying for the knockout stage, Cameroon is well placed to reach the last 16 after starting their defence with a 2-0 win over Guinea-Bissau while Ghana was held to a 2-2 draw with Benin in their opener.
