At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Serbia and Cameroon failed to win after a slugfest with three goals each.
Serbia and Cameroon drew 3-3 in the second Group G match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar at the Al-Janub Stadium in Al Wakrah, Qatar.
The two teams, who had 1 draw and 1 loss side by side, recorded 1 point, putting their last hope of advancing to the round of 16 in the remaining group stage 3 game.
In Group G, Brazil and Switzerland (above 1 win) will play the second round of the group stage tomorrow at 1:00 AM our time.
The third leg will be held on December 3, Brazil-Cameroon and Switzerland-Serbia.
The two teams, who faced the burden of losing the first game, showed off hot 'attack soccer', exchanging three goals each.
The opening goal was scored by Cameroon.
In the 29th minute of the first half, in the 29th minute of the first half, a corner kick hit Nicola Nkulu's head and flowed, and Jean-Charle Castelleto pushed the ball into the empty goal with his right foot to make it 1-0.
However, after that, Serbia started to counterattack by scoring three goals in a row.
In the 46th minute of extra time in the first half, Strahinja Pavlovic turned the score 1-1 with his head from a free kick situation, and in the 48th minute of the first half, Sergei Milinković Savic scored a turnaround goal with a left-footed mid-range shot from the front of the penalty area.
In the 8th minute of the second half, Aleksandar Mitrović scored a goal for Serbia, which gained momentum, making it 3-1.
However, Cameroon also fought back.
In the 19th minute of the second half, when Vincent Abubakir faced the goalkeeper one-on-one, he chased the goal by 2-3 with a roving shot that went well beyond the goalkeeper's height.
This goal was ruled offside by the assistant referee's flag, but was recognized as a goal after video review (VAR).
Cameroon's equalizer came two minutes after this goal.
Erik Maksaeng Chupo-Moting received Abubakir's grounder cross, who scored the second goal, and fired a left-footed shot into the Serbian goal.
Cameroon's second half goals both came from counter-attack opportunities that narrowly avoided an offside decision.
Had Cameroon lost that day, it would have been on the verge of losing its ninth straight World Cup final, starting with a 0-2 defeat to Germany in the final match of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup group stage.
The 9 consecutive World Cup finals defeat is a disgraceful record set by Mexico in 1958.
Cameroon escaped from the swamp of 8 consecutive losses with a draw that day, and challenged Brazil to advance to the dramatic round of 16 in the third game.
