Even though Cameroon missed the opportunity of qualifying for the round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon left the competition with a bang as the side became the first and the only African country to beat Brazil at the world cup.
Cameroon defeated Cameroon by 1 goal to nil; the goal, which was scored by the captain, Vincent Aboubakar, in the final minutes of the game, saw Cameroon defy all odds and go home with all three points. A draw in Switzerland vs Serbia game would have secured a slot for them in the round of 16, but Switzerland had picked up all three points and, in turn, secured a spot in the round of 16 of the world cup from goals scored by Embolo, Shaqiri and Frueler.
