Cameroon and Serbia combined for the game of the tournament thus far in a thrilling 3–3 draw in Group G.
After taking an early lead, Cameroon conceded three unanswered goals, including two during first-half stoppage time, that seemed to put its World Cup survival at risk. But facing a 3–1 deficit, the Indomitable Lions bounced back with two goals in three minutes, buoyed by the substitution of star forward Vincent Aboubakar.
Cameroon and Serbia were both feeling the urgency to get a result after Cameroon fell to Switzerland 1–0 (on a goal by Cameroon-born Breel Embolo), while Serbia fell victim to Brazil 2–0 (more specifically, to a Richarlison double and sensational acrobatic goal).
