It was done, Cameroon was eliminated from the World Cup.
Led 3-1 by Serbia, the Indomitable Lions were completely amorphous, jostled by the Serbian collective.
And then, it took the entry of Vincent Aboubakar shortly before the hour mark to change everything.
And, less than ten minutes later, the former Lorient player scored the goal of hope.
And what a goal.
Launched deep, the 30-year-old striker finds himself close to the penalty area, hooks and, facing Vanja Milinkovic-Savic's 2.02m, chooses the least predictable solution: a huge ladle which touches the sky of Doha before to fall back into the goals of the Serbian goalkeeper.
At first, Aboubakar is signaled offside, but, thanks to VAR, the Cameroonian goal is validated.

The third top scorer in the history of the Indomitable Lions did not stop there.
He also sent a magnificent assist for Eric Maxim Choupo Moting, author of the equalizer at 3-3.
What if that was Rigobert Song's perfect definition of “winning coaching”?
