England after victory over Cameroon in the quarterfinals | Sports | '
Gabrielle Aboudi Onguene had to put all her routine, all her empathy, all her persuasions, otherwise the knockout stages between England and Cameroon would have been over after 55 minutes. Again, her teammates felt unfairly treated. This time it was a hit by Alexandra Takounda, refusing to recognize the referee Liang Qin from China after checking the video images.
The supposed goal-scorer, with tears in her eyes, did not want to go on and she obviously had followers who were heading for the cabin with her. But Onguene, only 1.53 meters tall, kept calm as a captain, appeased, took her in the arm and finally managed to persuade her teammates to continue.

At this time, it had been 2: 0 for the English women, who even win the game 3-0 (2-0) in the end and should move safely to the quarterfinals. And even in the first two matches, the Africans saw themselves disadvantaged. The 1-0 was preceded by a short-distance return match, which goalkeeper Anette Ngo Ndom picked up with his hands instead of just knocking the ball away. Qin opted for an indirect free-kick on the edge of the six-yard box, Steph Houghton deliberately turned with a well-aimed shot into the far corner (15 minutes).
The 2: 0 of the English women came about only at the instigation of the German video assistant Bastian Dankert. Because the assistant had denied the goal of Ellen White (45. + 5) after fine outside pass on the ball from Lucy Bronze initially the recognition. For viewers on the TV and in the stadium a seemingly correct decision, but in fact revealed the review of the television images that White had scarcely been offside.
Even here, the players from Cameroon initially refused to play, coach Alain Djeumfa scolded on the sidelines, and only when the referee had once again explained their verdict, the game could be continued after minutes of interruption. Aboudi Onguene called her teammates after the break whistle at the center circle, talked long from her.
Irritated English women
Alex Greenwood (# 3) calls red, Aboudi Onguene (# 7) finds it unsportsmanlike
Both teams could now be sorry. The Cameroonians, because they cried so bitterly and were sad, the English women, because they were booed by the audience in the episode. And that, even though they were least able for the – right – decisions of the referee. Almost the uncertainty would have led to the aforementioned connection hit. After a few minutes, the team of coach Phil Neville but caught again, and Alex Greenwood worried after a corner in the 58th minute for the decision.
Liang Qin later showed a twofold touch: In the 76th minute, when a Cameroonian had kicked her opponent in the penalty area, but Jodie Taylor was free to shoot – no penalty, the referee said. It was one of those 50/50 decisions, a can penalty, not a must. And then in the 7th minute of stoppage time when Takaounda an Englishwoman on the midline from the side on the foot stepped.
Again, you could have shown red, not need. This time, Gabrielle Aboudi Onguene was also upset, because the English girls demanded a dismissal. Qin left it on a warning. The game was over, after, including stoppage time, 107 minutes.
