Cameroon will have to raise their heads after losing 1-0 against Switzerland. Paradoxically, the author of the only goal was Breel Embolo, of Cameroonian origin (he was born in Yaoundé, the capital of the African country) and a Swiss national.
The striker who plays for Monaco FC came to Europe at just 4 years old and at 17 made his debut for FC Basel. He was a member of Switzerland’s minor teams and played his first match for their senior team on March 31, 2015. Today, he became the first player to score a goal for his country of birth in the entire history of the World Cup.
Although the Indomitable Lions had chances, they failed to beat the goal defended by Yann Sommer. The only time the Cameroonian national team won in their debut was 1-0 against Argentina, in Italy 1990.
In World Cup history, it is the African team with the most appearances (8). In addition, it is the second highest winner of the African Cup of Nations with five trophies. In the last edition, held during 2021, he came in 3rd place.
Serbia does not want to regret another defeat: their match against Brazil, one of the favorites for the 2022 World Cup, ended 2-0. With his double, Richarlison was the executioner of the day and the European team committed 12 fouls to try to stop Tite’s team .
The Serbs have three consecutive defeats in the World Cups and did not score goals in their last two games, in which they repeated the score and rival: 1-2 vs. Switzerland, 0-2 vs. Brazil (Group E – Russia 2018) and 0-2 vs. Brazil (Group G – Qatar 2022). His last victory was in the opening of Russia 2018 against Costa Rica: 1-0 (Aleksandar Kolarov).
Cameroon and Serbia will star in one of the unprecedented crosses in the history of the FIFA World Cups. They have only met in an International Friendly, played on June 5, 2010, with a 4-3 victory for the Serbs.
The judge selected to supervise the match is Mohammed Hassan Mohamed.
