'Crazy'. Aboubakar comes on and saves Cameroon from almost certain elimination

Cameroon and Serbia played one of the best games of the current World Cup, which culminated in a 3-3 tie, at Al Janoub Stadium.

The African team was the first to celebrate, after 29 minutes, through Jean Castelletto, but the Europeans refused to 'throw in the towel', and turned the score around even before the break, thanks to goals from Strahinja Pavlovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, already in added time.

Right at the start of the second half, Aleksandar Mitrovic also scored the goal. It was then that, at 55 minutes, the Cameroonian coach, Rigobert Song, launched Vincent Aboubakar to replace Martin Hongla.

A change that would completely change the course of events, since, just 11 minutes after joining, the former FC Porto player already scored a (great) goal and an assist, for Jean-Eric Choupo-Moting's goal.
