Cameroon striker Vincent Aboubakar was sent off in dramatic circumstances after scoring a late winner to beat Brazil this evening.
The 30-year-old headed home in the 91st-minute to condemn the world's No.1 side and tournament favourites to their first defeat, but it was not enough to change the outcome of Group G, with Brazil remaining top and Cameroon eliminated after Switzerland beat Serbia 3-2.
Nonetheless, a dramatic late win against the five-time world champions in Qatar would always likely stir emotions, and when Aboubakar directed his finish past Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson, the striker rightly celebrated wildly, taking his shirt off before taking in the atmosphere.

That would have been all well and good, had the former Porto and Besiktas man not already been yellow carded earlier in the game, leaving referee Ismail Elfath with no option but to end the celebrations early and send Aboubakar off.
A strange decision from the Cameroon striker, but he is by no means one to hide away from controversy. Just last month he randomly took aim at Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah and the hype that surrounds the Egyptian King.
Speaking to 90FootballFr, Aboubakar said: "I'm not impressed by him. I can do what he does. I just don't have the opportunity to play in a big club. I understand people's attitudes, he's one of the best goalscorers in the Premier League. It makes sense that when you go on about a player like that, people will talk. But I did say that it was my opinion, my point of view. I don't give a toss if people don't like it."
