Cameroon need to deliver a better performance than a 0-0 draw with Georgia on Tuesday in Austria if they want to make it to the last-16 at the World Cup.

Faced with a team that hasn't qualified for the World Cup, the "Indomitable Lions" failed to trouble the scorers.

The African team, playing without star Samuel Eto'o, who helped Inter Milan to Champions League victory on Saturday, had one shot at goal before half-time through striker Rostard Dorge Kouemaha.

But it was the Georgians who were the better team during most of the match, played in front of a packed stadium in Lienz, near Salzburg, with some 3,500 spectators.

Cameroon, in Austria for a 10-day training camp, plays another friendly against fellow qualifiers Slovakia on Saturday in the southern city of Klagenfurt, before packing up camp on May 30.

It will face the two-time finalists The Netherlands, Denmark and Japan in Group E at the finals, which run from June 11 to July 11 in South Africa.
