Denmark crush Cameroon’’s World Cup hopes


GEO 436 PRETORIA: Denmark ended Cameroon’’s hopes of reaching the last 16 of the World Cup with a 2-1 victory here on Saturday, a result which means Group E leaders Holland become the first team to qualify for the next round. Cameroon scored first when Samuel Eto”o coolly shot into the corner of the net after 10 minutes after a pass from midfield was intercepted, but Arsenal’’s Nicklas Bendtner struck back for the Danes, converting a cross in the 33rd minute. Jon Dahl Tomasson was denied by a post shortly before half-time in a match full of defensive errors. But Dennis Rommedahl gave Denmark the lead, curling a neat finish around Cameroon ”keeper Hamidou Souleymanou on 61 minutes. Despite several scoring opportunities the west Africans saw their hopes of progressing further in the competition vanish.
