This World Cup has given us almost everything possible starting from nail-biting thrillers to absolute shockers to joy to tears and even in the penultimate match of the group stage encounter between Brazil and Cameroon, the fans witnessed something really out of the world. With Brazil already qualified for the knockout phases, they just needed a draw to confirm their top spot but Cameroon pulled off an upset.
Cameroon’s Vincent Aboubakar has given his nations and fans back home something to cheer about despite their FIFA World Cup campaign coming to an end. He scored the winner in injury time with an absolutely magnificent header which will be embedded in the history books forever.
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.
