Cameroon becomes the first African nation to beat Brazil in the history of the World Cup competition.

A feat that will probably be religiously conserved by the Lions who have also dominated Brazil in three different top level international competitions. 1-0, 2000 Sydney Olympics, 1-0 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup, and now 1-0, 2022, FIFA World Cup.

Vincent Aboubakar headed in a stoppage-time winner and was then sent off as a Cameroon claimed a memorable 1-0 victory over favourites Brazil at the World Cup on Friday, but still not qualify for round of 16.

Aboubakar, who had come in to captain Rigobert Song’s team, connected with a cross from substitute Jerome Ngom Mbekeli to break the deadlock in the 92nd minute at Doha’s Lusail Stadium.
