Cameroon 1-0 Brazil: Player ratings as Vincent Aboubakar's stoppage time strike shocks Canaries | 2022 FIFA World Cup

Cameroon stunned Brazil 1-0 in their final Group H game at the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Friday (December 2), but it wasn't enough to put them into the Round of 16.

Vincent Aboubakar scored in the 91st minute for the Indomitable Lions, who finished in third place to exi the competition. Brazil had made wholesale changes to their lineup as head coach Tite opted to rest his key players ahead of the knockouts.

The move backfired, as the Canaries struggling to break down their African opponents despite dominating the stats. Cameroon goalkeeper Devis Epassy also deserves credit for his performance between the sticks, as he made numerous saves to keep his team in the game.

Just when the game seemed to be done and dusted, Aboubakar popped up with a goal in the 91st minute, much to Brazil's dismay. However, the striker received a second yellow for taking his shirt off in celebration and was sent off.

Cameroon (4), nevertheless, hung on to a famous win on the night but it was in vain, as Switzerland (6) beat Serbia (1) 3-2 in the other game to secure second position in the group. The Selecao (6) won the group on goal difference, having qualified for the knockouts with a game to spare.

Brazil will now face South Korea in the last 16 on Monday, while Switzerland will take on Portugal later on the same day. On that note, here are the player ratings for both teams from the Cameroon-Brazil game:
