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.
He was booked for removing his shirt in the wild celebrations that followed and, having already been cautioned, had to leave his teammates to see out the remainder of the game.
They did so to record a famous win but Switzerland’s 3-2 win over Serbia at the same time meant the Swiss advanced from Group G along with already-qualified Brazil.
Having won their first two matches in Qatar, Brazil topped the group and advance to a last-16 tie against South Korea.
