Samuel Eto'o became the all-time leading goalscorer in African Cup of Nations history as his two goals helped Cameroon to an easy 3-0 victory over Sudan.

The Barcelona striker scored either side of a Mohamed Khider own goal to move his overall tally on to 16, two more than previous record holder and Ivory Coast legend Laurent Pokou. His first was a penalty after Alaa Eldin Yousif pulled back Achille Emana in the box. Eto'o tucked it away easily to make Pokou's record his own.

With Egypt drawing 1-1 against Zambia in the other match, the three points mean the Indomitable Lions finish second to the Pharaohs in Group C.

Newcastle United's Geremi and Alex Song of Arsenal both played for Cameroon.

Egypt were denied a 100 per cent Group C record by an 89th-minute goal from Felix Katongo, which cancelled out Amr Zaki's 16th-minute opener, but a point was enough for them to finish top of the table.
