Eto'o: Record breaker
Tunisia go head-to-head with Cameroon in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash at the Tamale Sports Stadium.
The victors of the encounter will take on Ghana in the semi-finals after the hosts defeated Nigeria 2-1 at the weekend.
Tunisia finished top of Group D with a win and two draws, while Cameroon were runners-up in Group C with two wins and a loss.
The Indomitable Lions will be looking to the influential Samuel Eto'o after he set a new Africa Cup of Nations scoring record with his 16th of the tournament in the 3-0 triumph over Sudan.
Cameroon, who won back-to-back trophies in 2000 and 2002, have fallen in the quarter-finals at the last two tournaments.
Tunisia, meanwhile, have won the Africa Cup of Nations just once - when they hosted the tournament back in 2004.
Cameroon manager Otto Pfisterfull and Tunisia boss Roger Lemerre both have full squads to choose from.
