Substitute Vincent Abubakar gave Cameroon a point of hope by competing to qualify for the final price of the World Cup in Qatar, albeit insignificantly, by compensating for its 1-3 deficit against Serbia to a 3-3 draw on Monday in Group G competitions.

Cameroon seemed on its way to receiving a second defeat, after the first against Switzerland, 0-1, after falling behind with a goal by Jean-Charles Castilletto (29) compared to three goals for Strahinja Pavlovic (1 + 45), Sergey Milinkovic-Savic (3 + 45) and Alexander Mitrovic (53). .

But substitute Abu Bakr brought life back to his country after the Saudi Al-Nasr striker scored the goal of reducing the difference with a wonderful “fallen” ball (64), before passing the ball to the equalizing goal scored by Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (66).

Hope remains for Cameroon to reach the final price for the first time since 1990, but a daunting task awaits them in the final round against five-time world champions Brazil.

The same applies to Serbia, which aspires to qualify for the final price for the first time since 1998, but its task is easier on paper than the representative of the African continent, as it faces Switzerland in the last round scheduled for Friday.

Cameroon coach Rigobert Song started the match by excluding Inter Italian goalkeeper Andre Onana for disciplinary reasons.

But Song stated that the exclusion of the 26-year-old is not final, and his participation against Brazil “depends on him.”
