Indomitable Lions of Cameroon fight back to hold Serbia in World Cup thriller
Cameroon have sustained their hopes alive of qualifying for the Qatar World Cup last 16 after rallying back from two goals down to draw a six-goal thriller with Serbia in Group G.
Cameroon scored first through Jean-Charles Castelletto but Strahinja Pavlovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic scored for Serbia before half time.
Aleksandar Mitrovic netted the third goal for Serbia and they looked to be cruising to a victory before the Indomitable Lions roared back thanks to goals from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s and Vincent Aboubakar.
Mitrovic had a chance to regain the lead for his side but the Fulham striker curled a shot wide in the final moment of the thrilling tie after being teed up by Dusan Tadic.
The match was arguably the tournament’s most entertaining game so far, with Serbia beginning brightly and Mitrovic twice went close to giving his side the lead.
