CUREPIPE, Mauritius, June 8 (Reuters) - Cameroon eased to a second successive World Cup win by beating Mauritius 3-0 on Sunday to go top of African qualifying zone Group One.

Defender Andre Bikey, returning from suspension after a red card received in the African Nations Cup semi-final in February, scored the opening goal for the Indomitable Lions in the 12th minute before Samuel Eto’o added a second a quarter-hour later.

Cameroon substitute Gustave Mbangue, making only his second international appearance, completed a comfortable victory with a third goal three minutes from the end.

Cameroon won their opening game of the group phase last weekend when they beat the Cape Verde Islands 2-0 at home. Their next match is on Saturday away against Tanzania in Dar-es-Salaam.
