List of international goals scored by Samuel Eto'o
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Samuel Eto'o is a retired Cameroonian professional footballer who played as a striker for the Cameroon national football team from 1997 to 2014. He is currently Cameroon's all-time goalscorer with 56 goals and 118 appearances, which also puts him as his nation's 2nd-most capped player behind Rigobert Song (137). He has represented his country at 4 FIFA World Cups (1998, 2002, 2010, 2014), 6 Africa Cup of Nations (2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010), and the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup. He has helped Les Lions Indomptables win both the 2000[1] and 2002 Africa Cup of Nations finals[2] and also reached the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup Final, which they lost to France. He earned his first cap for Cameroon in 1997 during a 5–0 loss in a friendly against Costa Rica. However, he wouldn't score a goal until 2000 in a 3–0 win against Ivory Coast in a 2000 Africa Cup of Nations group stage match.[3] His only hat-trick while playing for Cameroon would come in a 3–1 win against Angola in a 2006 Africa Cup of Nations group stage match.[4] He eventually decided to retire from international duty in 2014 after joining Everton.[5]
