Lusail, Qatar – Vincent Aboubakar’s second-minute stoppage-time header meant Cameroon became the first African team to beat rivals Brazil five times – however, it was not enough to see the Indomitable Lions past top-scoring Switzerland and into the finals of the tournament.
The Brazilian team, which met on Friday at the Lusail Stadium without facing a single shot during the match, has already secured its place in the next round with wins over Serbia and Switzerland.
Injured Brazilian star Neymar was on the mend, but the striker was at the game cheering on his team’s next round of 16 clash with South Korea.
Cameroon defeated Brazil for the first time in the World Cup since 1998, when they lost to Norway.
