Cameroon vs Brazil LIVE: World Cup 2022 result, final score and reaction after Selecao slump to shock loss

Cameroon defeated a second-string Brazil team 1-0 in their final Group G match at the Lusail Stadium on Friday but it was not enough as the African side were knocked out of the competition.

Cameroon finished third on four points, two points below second-placed Switzerland, who defeated Serbia 3-2. Brazil, who had already qualified, finished on top on goal difference with six points and will face South Korea in the last 16.

Fred, Antony and Bruno Guimaraes all came close to scoring, while Gabriel Martinelli was the stand-out player for the five-time champions, who looked set for a goalless draw.

But Cameroon finally broke the deadlock when Vincent Aboubakar powered in a header in the third minute of stoppage time before being sent off for collecting a second yellow card for taking off his shirt in the celebration.

90+9 mins: Cameroon complete a fantastic victory over Brazil but it isn’t enough to get them through to the last-16. Switzerland have beaten Serbia 3-2 and they go through along way Brazil.

Nothing can take this result away from Cameroon though, it was a brilliant defensive performance from them before Vincent Aboubakar popped up to win them the game.

Cameroon 1-0 Brazil

20:58 , Michael Jones

90+7 mins: Brazil are pushing for the equaliser now. They get the ball into the box and lift it onto the head of Marquinhos who nods one back into the middle where Martinelli heads his own effort over the crossbar!

For Cameroon to get through they need Serbia to score against Switzerland.

Cameroon 1-0 Brazil

20:55 , Michael Jones

90+4 mins: RED CARD! Vincent Aboubakar celebrates his goal by pulling off his shirt and swinging it around his head as his teammates all swarm him.

The referee has no choice but to book him and as he’s already picked up a yellow card he has to leave the pitch. Two yellows equal a red and it’s an early night for the Cameroon goalscorer.

GOAL! Cameroon 1-0 Brazil (Aboubakar, 90+2’)⚽️

20:51 , Michael Jones

90+2 mins: Lifeline for Cameroon!

Cameroon 0-0 Brazil

20:35 , Michael Jones

75 mins: There are just 15 minutes to go to see whether Brazil can make it three wins from three.

20:33 , Michael Jones

72 mins: Chance! Marquinhos recovers the ball on the Cameroon byline and pulls it back to Martinelli on the left side of the box.

Martinelli lays it off to the front edge of the penalty area where Bruno Guimaraes stops the ball then lifts a shot well over the crossbar under pressure from Eric Choupo-Motin.

Cameroon 0-0 Brazil

20:29 , Michael Jones

69 mins: Switzerland are leading Serbia 3-2 in the other Group G game meaning that they are back in second place as things stand. Even if Cameroon were to score now they wouldn’t qualify for the knockout rounds unless Serbia were to also get an equaliser.

Cameroon 0-0 Brazil

20:14 , Michael Jones

54 mins: Alex Telles has gone down off the ball again and can’t continue. He looks shook up as he hobbles off the pitch to be replaced by Marquinhos. That may be his World Cup over and done with if his injury is a bad one.

Fred and Rodrygo also go off with Bruno Guimaraes and Everton Ribeiro brought on.

Cameroon 0-0 Brazil

20:11 , Michael Jones

51 mins: Chance! Cameroon come within inches of opening the scoring. They work the ball around the edge of the box before Bryan Mbeumo slips a pass into the right side for Vincent Aboubakar.

He shoots on the spin and fizzes an effort mere inches wide of the far post!

Cameroon 0-0 Brazil

20:08 , Michael Jones

48 mins: There have been no changes in personnel from either side but Alex Telles is down for Brazil and needs some treatment following a heavy challenge.

The left back seems to be okay though and will play on for now.

Second half: Cameroon 0-0 Brazil

20:05 , Michael Jones

Kick off: Cameroon get the match back underway. They need to win this match and one chance could be enough for them if they keep it tight defensively.

So far so good for the African side.

HT Cameroon 0-0 Brazil

20:00 , Michael Jones

Switzerland have equalised against Serbia meaning that they head into the break at 2-2. It is the first time since England vs Argentina in 1998 that both teams have scored at least two goals before half-time in a World Cup match.

43 mins: Brazil have made nine changes to their starting XI for this match against Cameroon, their most between games at a single World Cup since their third game at the 1966 edition (9 against Portugal).

Cameroon 0-0 Brazil

19:42 , Michael Jones

40 mins: Serbia have scored a second goal against Switzerland meaning that they’re into second place in Group G as it stands.

The players head out onto the pitch at the Lusail Stadium. Cameroon must win tonight if they are to make it through whilst a draw would ensure Brazil win Group G.

No team in the competition has yet taken all nine points from their three group matches will Brazil become the only team to do so?

Cameroon vs Brazil

18:47 , Michael Jones

Brazil are yet to face a single shot on target at the 2022 World Cup, the first team to not face a shot on target in their first two games at a tournament since France in 1998.

France went on to win that World Cup so is this a good omen for Brazil?

Cameroon vs Brazil

18:43 , Michael Jones

A defeat or draw for Cameroon will see them eliminated from the group stage of the World Cup in their sixth successive appearance at the finals, last reaching the knockout rounds in 1990.

They’ve never won their final group stage game in seven previous appearances at the World Cup (D2 L5).

Cameroon vs Brazil

18:39 , Michael Jones

Brazil have won all seven of their World Cup matches against African sides, scoring 20 goals and conceding just twice.

Even with a starting XI that has nine squad players involved, Brazil should have enough quality to improve this record tonight.

Cameroon vs Brazil

18:35 , Michael Jones

Brazil have won both previous World Cup games between themselves and Cameroon.

3-0 in 1994 and 4-1 in 2014.

Song focused on his Cameroon side

18:32 , Michael Jones

Cameroon head coach Rigobert Song is focused on what his players can bring to tonight’s match instead of worrying about the threat Brazil pose.

He said: “With regards to what is at stake, we know the Brazilian squad off by heart.

“But we aren’t worrying about what they’re going to bring to the game, it’s about what we bring to the game. I don’t really care about what they’re going to do, it’s about us. We are preparing as if we’re playing a final.”

Cameroon vs Brazil prediction

18:28 , Michael Jones

Brazil could rotate here, but their strength in depth is vast and Cameroon’s need to get a result could force them out and leave the Selecao space to expose and thrive in.

Cameroon 0-3 Brazil.

Dani Alves to become Brazil’s oldest World Cup captain against Cameroon

18:24 , Michael Jones

Veteran defender Dani Alves will become Brazil’s oldest World Cup captain in their final group game against Cameroon on Friday.

The 39-year-old former Barcelona full-back was controversially included in head coach Tite’s squad for Qatar 2022 amid reports it was to act as a minder for close friend Neymar.

Alves, who now plays in Mexico for UNAM Pumas, will wear the skipper’s armband as Tite prepares to make changes, with top spot in Group G guaranteed if they avoid defeat against Cameroon.

18:20 , Michael Jones

Dani Alves will become Brazil’s oldest World Cup captain whe he starts against Cameroon tonight. The 39-year-old full-back will wear the armband after manager Tite made nine changes to the starting XI.

Alves said: “For me, it represents the fact that I can wear the Brazil jersey. It makes me very proud to be here. I’ve been with the Brazilian squad for many years and to be able to wrap up this cycle, playing a World Cup, makes me very happy,

“It’s been 16 years with the national squad and I’ve tried to do my very best. Life, I think, always rewards the people who love what they do, who truly do their best in the mission.

“I think I’m reaping what I have planted over those 16 years.”

Australia to attack Argentina ‘all guns blazing’ in World Cup round of 16

18:16 , Michael Jones

Australia coach Graham Arnold has vowed his side will take on Argentina with “all guns blazing” in their World Cup 2022 last-16 showdown.

The Socceroos were surprise qualifiers from Group D, not least after losing their first match 4-1 against France.

But successive 1-0 wins over Tunisia and Denmark took Australia to the knock-out stages for the first time since 2006, and Arnold insists they are not finished yet.

Group G permutations

18:12 , Michael Jones

Brazil have already secured their place in the World Cup knockout stages and require just a point against Cameroon to top Group G.

Any of the other three teams could still advance, with second-placed Switzerland best placed but requiring a victory over Serbia to guarantee their progress. A point would be enough for the Swiss if Cameroon fail to beat Brazil.

Serbia and Cameroon both need to win their respective games to keep alive their qualification hopes.

Cameroon vs Brazil team changes

18:08 , Michael Jones

Cameroon boss Rigobert Song makes four changes to the team that started the 3-3 draw against Serbia last time out. Enzo Ebosse and Christopher Wooh form the centre-back pairing with Moumi Ngamaleu brought into midfield and Vincent Aboubakar leading the line.

Tite makes nine changes to his already qualified Brazil side. Only Eder Militao and Fred keep their places from the 1-0 win over Switzerland.

That means starts for Arsenal duo Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus.

Neymar hails Casemiro as ‘best midfielder in the world’ as goal seals Brazil win over Switzerland

18:04 , Michael Jones

Brazil boss Tite and injured superstar Neymar hailed Casemiro as the “best midfielder in the world” after seeing him fire his country through to the World Cup knockout stage.

The Manchester United man’s 83rd-minute strike secured a 1-0 Group G win over Switzerland on Monday, which means they are through with a game to spare, prompting Neymar to tweet after the game: “Casemiro has been the best midfielder in the world for a long time.”

Asked at his post-match press conference if he agreed, Tite said: “As a habit, I always respect opinions and I usually don’t comment on opinions, but I will allow myself to do so today. I agree.”

How Brazil tried to fill Neymar void with Fred – and abjectly failed

17:58 , Michael Jones

What happens when a superstar forward, with the weight of a nation on his shoulders for the third World Cup running, sustains an injury in match No 1? After the period of mourning, there is discussion. 40 minutes of it.

Brazil’s pre-match press conference on Sunday – involving manager Tite, defender Marquinhos and Tite’s assistant Cesar Sampaio – was mostly devoted to the world’s most expensive player and the effect of his absence for the rest of the group-phase. “Football’s about context and sometimes we have to be strategic,” said Tite. “We have to think outside the box but we’re very confident we have the right replacement.”

So, who would it be? An abundance of terrific depth in attack, deeper than any other team in the tournament, should cover for the loss of the prodigal son. So, would it be one of Arsenal’s dynamic duo: Gabriel Jesus or Gabriel Martinelli? Maybe Manchester United’s £85m signing Antony? Or Real Madrid young gun Rodrygo? Or how about… Fred?

Luis Suarez endures rollercoaster of emotions as Uruguay suffer cruel World Cup exit

17:48 , Michael Jones

The devilish grin painted across his face in the first half soon turned to sheer panic and then despair as Luis Suarez processed Uruguay’s fate. Out of the World Cup on goals scored, to the delight of South Korea, Suarez was agonisingly close to one last inspiring performance.

The divisive forward had earlier cackled in delight after inspiring a two-goal lead, thrilled to play the role of the “devil” at the expense of Ghana once more. But that joy would turn sour after Hwang Hee-Chan’s late, late winner for South Korea, who usurped La Celeste to finish second behind Portugal in Group H.

For so long Uruguay’s saviour, Suarez had delivered when most had dismissed him as merely an enigmatic presence in a camp between generations, having hopelessly toiled away against South Korea and Portugal.

Casemiro provides Brazil relief in Neymar absence to edge past Switzerland

17:40 , Michael Jones

“We can’t stop talking about Neymar,” Casemiro had said in the build-up to this latest stop on Brazil’s quest to win a sixth World Cup. After his winning goal here against Switzerland, they’ll only be talking about him.

With the side’s talismanic No 10 injured and watching wave after wave of pressure go unrewarded from afar, it was left to the defensive midfielder with just five international goals to his name to do his best impression of the absent hero with 75.

The strike was a sweet one, struck hard and to Yann Sommer’s left, the Swiss keeper left with no chance as it arrowed into the corner. The relief in the stadium – and no doubt the team hotel where the laid-up Neymar was watching on – was palpable.

Hwang Hee-Chan strikes dramatic winner to send South Korea through after beating Portugal

17:36 , Michael Jones

Just as the PA system announced six minutes of stoppage time at the Education City Stadium, Son Heung-Min’s wait was finally over. For the previous ninety, he had barely had a chance to do what he does best and run at a broken and splintered defence. Now, with half of it caught upfield for a set-piece, finally, here was his chance.

Son burst away, darting towards Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa, yet even his furious pace was not at full pelt after a gruelling final game in Group F that had appeared headed for a draw. White shirts began to crowd him. He had run into traffic. But thankfully, he had Hwang Hee-Chan in support.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers forward’s late finish and Uruguay’s mere two-goal victory over Ghana – eventually confirmed five minutes or so after the sound of the final whistle, to a joyous Korean huddle in the centre circle of the pitch – was enough for Asia’s most successful footballing nation and its biggest star to reach the last-16.

Cameroon vs Brazil team news and predicted line-ups

17:33 , Michael Jones

Andre Onana has been suspended by his country after falling out with coach Rigobert Song, with Devis Epassy deputising. Song has an injury doubt over Olivier Ntcham, with Vincent Aboubakar pushing for a start after shining off the bench against Serbia.

The Selecao are without Neymar, Danilo and Alex Sandro through injury. Eder Militao and Alex Telles are the likely replacements at full-back, while Rodrygo could be chosen in a more attack-minded line-up after Fred replaced Neymar in the Switzerland match.

Antony, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli are other options to join Raphinha and Vini Jr, with Lucas Paqueta in line to start again.

While extension rotation might hit the attack mostly, with that aforementioned trio an option with Bruno Guimaraes joining Paqueta and Casemiro in midfield.

Predicted line-ups

Cameroon XI: Epassy; Fai, Castelletto, Nkoulou, Tolo; Hongla, Anguissa, Kunde; Aboubakar, Choupo-Moting, Toko Ekambi

Brazil XI: Alisson; Militao, Marquinhos, Silva, Telles; Casemiro, Paqueta; Raphinha, Paqueta, Rodrygo; Vinicius Jr

17:26 , Michael Jones

The 2022 World Cup is in full swing as 32 nations began on 20 November aiming to lift the Jules Rimet trophy in Doha on 18 December.

Despite the many off-field issues around the tournament in Qatar, the group stage has thrown up plenty of thrills and spills, with Argentina losing to Saudi Arabia going down as one of the greatest shocks of any World Cup in history. Japan also stunned Germany, while Spain and England racked up goals in statement opening wins.

The top two teams from each group go through to the round of 16, with group winners taking on the runners-up from a different group, while the third- and fourth-placed nations in each group are eliminated from the competition.

Here are the teams qualified for the last 16 so far:

Ghana haunted by Uruguay again as World Cup history repeats itself

17:15 , Michael Jones

On paper, Ghana could not have asked for a better chance against Uruguay .

As Andre Ayew stood over the penalty spot, history was there to be rewritten. It was the moment Ghana dreamed of: the chance, perhaps not to heal the scars of Johannesburg, but to move on and leave them behind. The opportunity to knock Uruguay out of the World Cup was one that was raised when the group stage draw was made months, for it to arrive when their own progress was on the line added a sense of ambition to their lust for revenge.

On paper, a penalty, from 12 yards, at 0-0, was as clear an opportunity as you could imagine.

54 mins: Ricardo Horta has taken a knock and needs a bit of treatment from the Portuguese medical team. The forward will be fine to play on but that’s taken a couple of minutes out of the match.

As it stands Portugal are cruising into the last 16 at the break alongside Uruguay.

If Ghana come from 2-0 down to avoid defeat against Uruguay they could go through at their opponents’ expense. If South Korea go ahead against Portugal they may also be able to qualify on goal difference.
