Cameroon’s chances of progressing to the next round were very slim as they needed Switzerland to lose their match against Serbia and had a milestone of a task to beat title-contenders Brazil and boy did they do that. Having been on the defensive half of the pitch the whole match, Cameroon only attacked during the counter and the fruit of their hard work came at the death.
