Buoyed by their home crowd, the Palancas Negras equalized in the 54th minute through an own goal by Michael Ngadeu Ngandjui. The score remained unchanged at the end of the 90 minutes.

The Indomitable Lions returned to Yaoundé in the early hours of June 12, 2024, confident of retaining their first place in Group D with 8 points after the 4th round of matches.
