Cameroon have become the first African country to beat Brazil at a FIFA World Cup after the victory in the final Group G match.
The African giants last Friday, December 2, locked horns with the Brazilians in a top game.
In a game where the Indomitable Lions finished the match with 10 men, a powerful Vincent Aboubakar header in stoppage time sealed a narrow 1-0 win for Cameroon.
The win means Cameroon are the first African country to defeat Brazil at a FIFA World Cup tournament.
Speaking after the game, Cameroon head coach Rigobert Song said he has trust in the youth players in his team.
“You need to trust youth. Henri Michel gave me an opportunity. He saw the potential in me. Now I’m the coach and I see potential in my young players.
“I knew (Ngom Mbekeli) was a good, quality player. He just needed an opportunity to show that. Hopefully, his performance can motivate other local players,” the coach said.
Unfortunately, for Cameroon, the side could not advance to the Round 16 stage despite beating Brazil.
