Cameroon overpowered fellow debutants Ecuador in a 6-goal thriller.
Gaelle Enganamouit scored a hat-trick, Madelaine Ngono Mani pounced on a rebound to score the opening goal, Christine Manie struck from the penalty spot and Gabrielle Aboudi Onguene, who orchestrated many of Cameroon’s attacking moves in her 50th international match, scored from the penalty spot in the 79th.
Ecuador had earlier been reduced to 10 players when defender Ligia Moreira was red carded in the 66th minute
