The reigning African highest goal scorer of all time in the nations' cup history Samuel Eto'o Phils yesterday added yet another profile to his unassailable record after helping his country Cameroon to qualify for the quarter finals in the ongoing competition in Angola. He scored his side's equalizer in the 1st minute of the second half after the Cartridge Eagles of Tunisia went into the lead in the first half. The match eventually ended 2-2 to ensure that the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon and the Chipolopolo of Zambia moved on into the quarter finals.Samuel Eto'o had earlier scored in their second match against Zambia to increase his goal tally to 17, but with his goal against Tunisia yesterday he now has 18 goals. Before his emergence on the African nations' cup scene the highest goals record stood at 14 goals which was set and held by Laurent Poko of Cote d'ivoire. But at Ghana 2008 nations' cup this record was broken by Eto'o. I remember I did predict that he was likely to break his own record this year, and he has just done that: with 18 goals in his kitty it would remain an uphill task for anybody seeking to equal and break this record. This young man came into soccer limelight in Nigeria/Ghana 2000 nations' cup and ever since he has not stopped scoring great and thrilling goals.
