Host Cameroon, surprise Burkina Faso into African Cup semis

DOUALA, Cameroon (AP) — Cameroon has marched on at the African Cup of Nations with a brace by striker Karl Toko Ekambi sending the tournament host into the semifinals with a 2-0 win over Gambia. Toko Ekambi scored his goals in the space of seven minutes in the second half at the Japoma Stadium in Douala. There was extra security at the game following the deadly crush that left eight fans dead and 38 injured the last time Cameroon played. Burkina Faso joined Cameroon in the last four by surprising Tunisia 1-0. Teenage forward Dango Ouattara scored Burkina Faso’s goal in first-half injury time.
