Cameroon 1-0 Brazil: Farewell victory for the Untamed Lions, Abubakar scoring and sent off
Vincent Aboubakar scored 90+2′ in Cameroon’s victory and was sent off smiling as he took off his jersey in celebration. The Seleção were better for most of the game, but in the final the indomitable lions took the win.
Brazil had qualified for the “16” of the 2022 World Cup. They lost 1-0 in the game against Cameroon, but that didn’t deprive them of first place in the group. The scorer of Cameroon’s golden goal was Vincent Aboubakar at 90+2, sending the ball in with a superb header at 90+2 from a cross from the right. In the round of 16, the opponent of the Seleção is South Korea.
Tite made many substitutions, the Seleção weren’t on the gas but dominated throughout the game and had chances to score. As many chances as they found the net, Davies Epasi was there and kept a clean sheet for his team.
Cameroon, on the other hand, had chances to score more, the most notable of which was Buemo’s header at 45+3, but Ederson pulled away with a nice intervention. It should be noted that this was the first attempt Brazil conceded on target at the tournament.
The match
Brazil was superior in the first half without stepping on the gas. Tite changed almost the entire lineup to rest his key players for the knockout stages.
The Seleção’s first good moment came in the 14th minute. Martinelli went behind the defense and sent the ball towards goal with a nice header, but Epasi cleared with a nice intervention.
The Brazilians continued to threaten without time pressure, but Epasi intervened where necessary. In the 38th minute, Anthony sent the ball in the direction of the goal with a placekick, but Epasi stopped him. At 45+2′ the former OFI goalkeeper also stopped Martinelli while he was eliminated a minute after Rodrigo’s shot.
Cameroon missed a unique scoring opportunity in injury time in the first half. Aboubakar sent in a superb cross from the right and Ebuemo’s header forced a spectacular save from Ederson.
In the second half, the game went at the same pace. Brazil was superior and once again had the lion’s share of the last few tries. Vincent Aboubakar was the first to threaten a nice flick, but the ball went wide.
The Seleção used their chances in the 53rd minute. Martinelli, Militao and Anthony threatened within three minutes (56-57-58) but Epassi stopped him with a subtle intervention.
From the 60th minute, the pace of the game slowed down due to the changes. Endham tried his foot from long range but Ederson controlled the ball and stopped it.
In the final of the game, the pace of the game was slow. Cameroon found the goal they had hoped for in stoppage time through Vincent Aboubakar.

Shevchenko made statements about the Ukraine-Sweden match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers
UAF President Andrey Shevchenko He talked about the match against the Swedish national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
“When we were drawn against Sweden we probably faced our toughest opponent. I have great respect for Swedish football, you have always had good national teams and great players.”
“It’s always difficult to face Scandinavian teams, even though you don’t qualify for the World Cup, because you have so much quality, character and identity. This is similar to us to some extent. I don’t think there are favourites. In the end it all depends on the details, the injury situation and the preparations,” said Shevchenko.
In case of victory, Ukraine will play with the winner of the Poland-Albania doubles for a ticket to the World Cup. Ukraine will play the final match at home on March 31, again conditionally.
In addition to the 12 teams that finished second in their groups, the 4 winners of the Nations League quartet will also participate in the play-offs. All 16 participants are divided into 4 paths. Each route will include a semi-final and a final. The semi-finals will be held on March 26, and the finals will be held on March 31, 2026.

UAF President Andrey Shevchenko He pointed out the significant financial costs of organizing the Ukrainian national team’s “home” matches outside the country.
“Hosting such meetings costs us an enormous amount of money and we are deprived of the opportunity to assemble a full stadium. In fact, the cost of a so-called home match at a neutral venue costs around five times more than a regular match.”
Our sponsors are located in a country where the struggle continues, so their financial resources are seriously limited.
I cannot approach the government with requests for additional funding.
We are forced to work tightly within the available budget and rely on the support of private donors, especially when it comes to social initiatives,” the UAF president told Dagens Nyheter.
During the current year, the Ukrainian national team played its official home matches in stadiums in Spain and Poland.

Head coach of the Portuguese national team Roberto Martinez He explained why Cristiano Ronaldo continues to play an important role in the national team.
– There is always a lot of talk around Cristiano Ronaldo. Why does he remain the undisputed starter for the Portuguese national team, even though he will soon be 41?
“It’s all about his attitude towards the profession.” We constantly evaluate three key factors: talent level, accumulated experience and the contribution a player can make to the national team.
Making the highest demands on himself for the benefit of the team allows the captain to maintain his place in the squad. His desire to be the best is passed on to his partners. “The 25 goals he scored in 30 matches as a striker confirms that his play brings tangible benefits to the national team,” he said.
