Cameroon staged a thrilling comeback with two goals down to draw 3-3 against Serbia in Group G at the ongoing 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
During the game on Monday, Cameroon took the lead through Jean-Charles Castelletto, but Strahinja Pavlovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic replied to give Serbia a half-time advantage.
Aleksandar Mitrovic added a third for Serbia and they looked to be cruising to a win that would have put them in a strong position to progress from the group.
However, the Indomitable Lions roared back thanks to Vincent Aboubakar‘s superb lob and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s equaliser three minutes later.
Mitrovic had a chance to regain the lead for his side but the Fulham striker curled a shot wide in the closing moments after being teed up by Dusan Tadic.
Both sides lost their opening match so this result leaves them two points adrift of Brazil and Switzerland, who meet later on Monday.
A defeat would have left Cameroon relying on Switzerland to beat Brazil in order to avoid elimination with a match to spare.
But with the 3-3 score against Serbia, Cameroon retained hope of getting out of the group stage for the first time since 1990, although their final game will be a difficult match against Brazil.
