Cameroon battled back heroically in the second half of Match 29 against Serbia after falling behind 1-3 to score two quick goals in the second half to tie the score and hold the Serbians to a draw in a spirited finish at the Al Janoub Stadium. It was one of the game’s most epic comeback performances. This was also the first meeting between both teams in all competitions since June 2010, which was won by Serbia.
Serbia and Cameroon were both desperate for a victory after losing their respective Group G openers. Serbia lost 2-0 to five-time champion Brazil, while Cameroon lost 1-0 to Switzerland. Therefore, both teams needed victories to have any chance of moving on to the Round of 16, as the defending champions France had already qualified earlier in the day.
In a 6-goal epic, in which both teams scored three goals each, Cameroon scored the game’s first goal in the 29th minute. The Serbians then scored two quick goals during the first half’s extra time, and the third goal came just eight minutes into the second half. As a result, Cameroon now trails the Serbs 1-3.
However, Cameroon made a fast comeback and managed to close the distance before swiftly catching up to avoid losing the game. Their second goal was scored in the 63rd minute, and the match’s equalizer was scored in the 66th minute, bringing the score to 3-3. Both teams scored three goals each as the game went into seven minutes of extra time without producing a winner.
