Fifa World Cup 2022 Highlights: SRB vs SUI, CMR vs BRA

Fulltime

It will be the first time ever since 1994 that no team will enter the Round of 16 without having dropped a point in the group stage. Cameroon made it happen as they beat Brazil 1-0. 

Before this game, Brazil had won their previous two games. Switzerland on the other hand beat fierce rivals Serbia 3-2 even as the match looked like turning into a brawl at some point. Even after this historic win, Cameroon would have to pack their bags and head home as Brazil go to the Round of 16 as Group toppers and Switzerland follow them.

Serbia vs Switzerland

It was going to be a tough game. It was going to be a physically challenging game and it was all of that plus the five goals. Switzerland started the scoring with Shaqiri and Serbia followed by scoring back-to-back via Mitrovic and Vlahovic. But then a goal each at the end of the first half and the start of the second half by Breel Embolo and Remo Freuler respectively was enough to take the Swiss to the Round of 16 where they will face Portugal.

Cameroon vs Brazil

It was not solely dependent on Cameroon as to whether they can move to the Round of 16 or not. Other results needed to go in their favour along with the herculean task of beating Brazil. 

While other things didn't go their way, a moment of magic by Vincent Aboubakar meant that they beat Brazil 1-0. Although they are heading home, Cameroon are heading home having created history by becoming the first African team to beat Brazil in a World Cup.
