Brazil’s 24-year record ends
Cameroon are sadly out of the competition, but they have become the first team to beat Brazil in a World Cup group game since way back in 1998.
Their 17-game unbeaten run comes to an end.

Captain. Leader. Legend.
He scored an outrageous chip against Serbia and immediately after, he provided an assist for Cameroon’s late equaliser to keep them alive in the competition. Now, he’s scored the winning goal against Brazil.
Vincent Aboubakar, take a bow!
