\n \n Soccer can be harsh sometimes, just ask Cameroon.\n <\/p>\n \n The Indomitable Lions became the first team to score against Brazil at Qatar 2022 on Friday, but its famous 1-0 win against the tournament favorite was still not enough to see it through to the knockout stages.\n <\/p>\n \n Vincent Aboubakar’s header in stoppage time may have given his nation a memorable victory, but Switzerland’s 3-2 win against Serbia in the other Group G game meant Cameroon could not progress.\n <\/p>\n \n The match at the Lusail Stadium had been largely uneventful for 90 minutes with both sides failing to find a breakthrough. Brazil had already booked its place in the next round and rested many of its key players.\n <\/p>\n \n Cameroon, meanwhile, knew it needed at least a win against the Brazilians to stand any chance of staying in the competition, but it failed to trouble its opponent until a frantic stoppage time period.\n <\/p>\n \n After nine minutes of added time was announced, Cameroon sensed an opportunity but, in truth, Aboubakar’s goal came completely against the run of play.\n <\/p>\n \n The striker’s fine header may not have helped its side into the round of 16, but it was historical nonetheless \u2013 and was celebrated by the entire Cameroon squad.\n <\/p>\n
