Cameroon captain Vincent Aboubabkar delivered once again for his nation at the FIFA World Cup with a superb goal against Brazil.

Unfancied against the five-time World Champions, the Indomitable Lions headed into the game looking to rewrite history and qualify for the round of 16.

They contained Brazil for large parts of the game before Aboubakar turned in a header in stoppage time to send the players into a frenzy.

Aboubakar was, however, sent off for taking off his shirt. He had initially been booked for a challenge on Gabriel Martinelli.

Rigobert Song's side started the competition with a slender 1-0 loss to Switzerland before playing out to an entertaining 3-3 draw with Serbia.
