A second-string Selecao lineup dominated proceedings throughout the contest, but Cameroon captain Vincent Aboubakar scored a dramatic 92nd-minute winner, directing a brilliant header into the bottom-right corner before receiving a second yellow card for taking his shirt off in celebration.
The Indomitable Lions held on to claim their first World Cup win in 20 years, but it was not enough to book their place in the last 16 after Switzerland secured a thrilling 3-2 win over Serbia, with the former now joining Brazil in the knockout rounds.
