The Indomitable Lions overwhelmed their opponents in the end, with their captain Vincent Aboubakar scoring another brace to take his tally to four goals for the tournament.
The Lyon forward Karl Toko Ekambi also got two for Cameroon, who also hit the post three times during what could have been an even heavier defeat for Ethiopia at the Olembe Stadium in Yaounde.
Ethiopia’s Dawa Hotessa had earlier stunned Cameroon’s fans into silence with the opening goal in the fourth minute.
