Samuel Eto'o resurrected his 'old man' celebration after scoring for Cameroon against Germany on Sunday night as the two countries prepared for the World Cup.
The 33-year-old striker nipped in
ahead of defender Mats Hummels to poke the ball past Germany goalkeeper Roman
Weidenfeller on the hour mark.
Eto'o, who was forced to rubbish
claims he is nearing the end of his career after Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho
questioned his age earlier in the season, raced towards the corner flag to
celebrate.
The hosts then took the lead as
Chelsea's Andre Schurrle converted Arsenal frontman Lukas Podolski's square
ball from close range.
However, the lead lasted just seven
minutes as Cameroon frontman Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting - who plays his club
football for Mainz and was born in Hamburg - hit a perfectly-executed left-foot
shot into the corner of the net to draw Volker Finke's side level.
Germany played without goalkeeper
Manuel Neuer, captain Philipp Lahm and midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, who
are all nursing injuries.
Left back Erik Durm made his debut,
with another defender, Marcel Schmelzer, also injured.
Germany have drawn their last two
matches, with an under-strength side held 0-0 by Poland last month. The Germans
also play Armenia on June 6, the day before they leave for Brazil.
'It would have been good if we had
used our early chances. We seem to need a lot of chances to score, that has
been evident in recent months,' said manager Joachim Low.
