The Indomitable Lions Cameroon were sent home following a 2-1 defeat to Denmak in a World Cup Group E match here on Saturday.

Cameroon's loss meant they became the first team to exit the World Cup and the Netherlands, with six points to their credit, the first to make the last 16.

Both Cameroon and Denmark opened up their campaign at the tournament with a loss respectively to Japan and the Netherlands, and the second group match assumed a must-win to keep their hopes of making the last 16 alive.

In their two previous meetings, both friendly matches, the two teams each had one win.

Six minutes into the game, Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o fired a right footed shot wide.

Cameroon's Vincent Aboubakar (C) breaks through the defence of Denmark's Simon Kjaer (L) during the 2010 World Cup Group E soccer match at Loftus Verfeld stadium in Tshwane, South Africa, on June 19, 2010. Denmark won 2-1.

The Inter Milan forward voiced before the match he would give it all in the match and he did so. At the 10th minute, Eto'o blazed past the Danish keeper Thomas Sorensen, scoring the first goal for Cameroon in the World Cup.

Thus Eto'o ended an eight year-drought after scoring his first World Cup goal in 2002.

However, Denmark leveled the score at the 33rd minute when Nicklas Bendtner powered home a right footer.

At the 61st minute, Denmark notched up the upper hand as Dennis Rommedahl beat Cameroon's midfielder Jean Makoun to slot home a left-foot shot.
