CAMEROON are OUT of the World Cup despite an incredible victory against Brazil.
Bryan Mbeumo saw a first-half header was kept out by a fantastic save from Ederson.
Gabriel Martinelli had a chance of his own for Brazil soon after, seeing a curled effort tipped over the bar.
But it was Vincent Aboubakar who opened the scoring, heading his side into the lead before being handed a second yellow card and being SENT OFF after taking his top off to celebrate.
However, the African side are out despite winning as Switzerland came out victorious against Serbia in the other match in Group G.

Indomitable Lions maul Selecao
They be out of the 2022 World Cup but Rigobert Song’s Cameroon really did bow out in style in the end.
Grabbing an added-time winner against Brazil.
Had results gone another way in the other group game and Cameroon could have been heading through.

Brazil fans are torn as to the inclusion of the Arsenal striker following his poor form leading the line for the country in the last edition in Russia in 2018.
Jesus has never scored a goal at the World Cup and did not look like getting any closer today.
When you look at his heat map, and then touch map, you cannot argue that is getting the ball into too many areas where he cannot hurt the opposition.
Make the right runs in the final third and the goals will come.
Full Monty to your offski
The hero of Cameroon, Vincent Aboubakar was shown a second yellow card for his goal celebration, seeing the striker sent-off.
