Emmanuel Barranguet (Agence France-Presse) (The Jakarta Post) PREMIUM Yaoundé   ● Wed, January 26 2022 Host Cameroon sets up an Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) quarterfinal against Gambia but only after laboring to a 2-1 win over a Comoros side that was forced to start an outfield player in goal and played most of Monday's game with 10 men. Left-back Chaker Alhadhur started between the posts for the Comoros in Yaoundé after two of its three goalkeepers were ruled out due to COVID-19 while the other was missing due to injury.

On Monday, Hong Kong reported 109 new infections, in stark contrast with many other places reporting tens or hundreds of thousands of daily cases. Of the 426 people in hospital with COVID-19, none were in serious or critical condition.
