Cameroon can keep their heads high despite failing to make it to the knockouts. With Swiss' win over Serbia in the corresponding fixture, Switzerland finish second and Brazil top the group. Serbia and Cameroon head home after an interesting final round of play in Group G.

Brazil never looked at their best with the number of changes they made. Cameroon remained strong at the back and kept the opposition's forwards at bay. Eventually, they did find the breakthrough from Aboubakar's header and have end up winning the game 1-0.

90+9' FULL TIME!!! The game ends in a shocking 1-0 defeat for Brazil as Cameroon's gritty defense pull off an upset.

90+9' Bruno Guimares misses from close range as he shoots over from Marquinhos' chested pass in the box.

90+8' MISS!! Marquinhos heads back the ball in the box from Alves' cross, only for Martinelli to head it over. Good chance missed to equalize.

90+7' Bruno Guimares shoots a loppy header to help Epassy make an easy save. Brazil losing 1-0 here.

90+4' The equation still remains the same despite Cameroon's goal as Switzerland are on road to win against Serbia. It could all change if Serbia score one more goal.

90+3' Aboubakar is shown a second yellow for removing his shirt during his goal celebrations.

90+2' GOOOOAAALLL!!! Late drama here as Aboubakar finds the net with a brilliant header. The Cameroon forward makes a good run in the box and heads the ball past Ederson from Mbekeli's cross.

Additional time: 9 minutes

90' Brazil win a corner late in the game as nine minutes are added to normal time.

86' Ngamaleu is subbed off. Jerome Mbekeli comes on.

85' Bruno Guimares is yellow-carded for cynically stopping Ngamaleu from making his run.

84' JUST WIDE!! Bruno Guimares shoots from close range from Raphinha's cross, only to shoot it just wide off Cameroon's right post.

Brazil fans send Pele a get well soon message 💚 pic.twitter.com/uUDQ4UBJnF

81' Aboubakar is cautioned for bringing down Martinelli while running close to the Cameroon box.

79' Antony is subbed off. Raphinha comes on.

78' Ntcham shoots from a long range outside the box. Ederson grasps it without any discomfort.

76' Among Antony and Martinelli, the latter has looked more direct and effective with his approach. This performance should impress Tite to call him up whenever in need.

72' Brazil have been quite sloppy with their passing today and have been poor with their link-up play too.

68' Pierre Kunde is subbed off. Olivier Ntcham comes on.

64' Gabriel Jesus is subbed off. Pedro comes on.

64' Mbeumo is subbed off. Toko Ekambi comes on.

A bright spark for Brazil 🔥#BBCFootball #BBCWorldCup pic.twitter.com/8HKyn9UqMn

57' ANOTHER SAVE!! Epassy fumbles from Militao's shot only to save the ball from going into the net. Saving from the mistakes of his own doings.

56' WHAT A SAVE !! Martinelli makes a great run from the left wing to cut inside and take a curling shot. Epassy makes a wonderful save to once again deny the Arsenal forward.

55' Rodrygo is subbed off. Everton Ribeiro comes on.

55' Fred is subbed off. Bruno Guimares comes on.

54' Alex Telles is subbed off. Marquinhos comes on.

51' Alex Telles is struggling after colliding with Anguissa in the box. Looks like he might have to be substituted.

49' Not good news for Cameroon as Switzerland take the lead against Serbia and are leading by three goals to two.

Ederson has now made more saves (1) than Alisson (0) at the 2022 World Cup. 😉

46' The second half is underway as we expected some sort of drama in this final round of Group G matches.

With the scoreline being 2-2 between Serbia and Switzerland at half-time, a 1-0 win will suffice for Cameroon as it stands. It is easier said than done as Brazil have plenty of quality on the pitch and on the bench. Interesting to see how Cameroon opt to approach the second half.

Brazil started with a decent approach and tested Epassy with a Martinelli header. Cameroon have defended well but it is Brazil who have lacked the cutting edge in the final third and the creativity from midfield. Mbeumo came really close with his header but Ederson denied him with a fine save.

45+4' HALF TIME !! The first half comes to an end as it ends goalless for both sides at the break.

45+3' SAVE!! Ederson produces a fantastic save to deny Mbeumo's bouncing header from a Ngamaleu cross. Superb stuff from the Manchester City goalkeeper.

45+2' Bad news for Cameroon again as Switzerland equalize.

45+1' SAVE!! Martinelli does terrifically well running past defenders and shooting from just outside the box. He forces Epassy into a save and tips the ball over the bar.

Additional time: 4 minutes

44' Brazil haven't quite tested Epassy as much as they would have liked and it is something they would like to change in the second half.

If Brazil don’t win, England will end a World Cup group stage with the best record of any team for the first time ever.

41' Brazil have been so good in the tournament so far that they are yet to allow a team have a shot on target against them.

38' SAVE! Antony cuts inside from the right wing but his shot is weak and straight at Epassy. Easy save that.

37' Serbia come back from behind to take the lead as the scoreline now reads 2-1. A 1-0 goal win for Cameroon will do the job for the African team.

32' Collins Fai makes a rash tackle to stop Rodrygo who was heading toward the goal. There was no doubt why the referee has shown him a yellow here.

28' Pierre Kunde is cautioned for a cynical foul on Rodrygo. Free kick from 20 yards out to Brazil.

27' Good news for Cameroon as Serbia equalize against Switzerland through Aleksandar Mitrovic. Qualification hope is not entirely dead.

25' Wooh makes a great interception from Antony's cross to concede a corner to Brazil.

21' Switzerland take the lead in the match against Serbia. Bad news for Cameroon this.

20' Cameroon have their first attack well cleared by Ederson before it reaches to a Cameroon player from a Tolo cross.

17' Brazil win their first corner of the game. Can they make something out of it?

14' WHAT A SAVE!!! Fred provides an excellent diagonal cross to Martinelli who glances it across the Cameroon goal but Epassy does incredibly well to get something on it and tips it over the bar. Amazing save.

10' The game is yet to get going as both teams struggle to get their passes right consistently.

7' Now it's Eder Militao who has been shown a yellow card for a late tackle on Ngamaleu.

6' Nouhou Tolo receives an early yellow card following his rash tackle on Antony.

5' Brazil trying to settle right away by keeping possession.

9 - 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). Recliner. pic.twitter.com/QRrKyQjZB1

1' Here we go as Brazil kick off the match.

Both teams are out as we are just a couple of minutes away from the kickoff.

39 - Daniel Alves (39 years 210 days) is set to become the oldest Brazilian to play a World Cup game in history. Everlasting.#BRA #FIFAWorldCup #Qatar2022 pic.twitter.com/gTYYQCnh1T

Brazil can become the only team in the 2022 FIFA World Cup to finish with all nine points in the group stages if they secure a victory today. With a number of changes today, it will be interesting to see how they go about their game.

Dani Alves has become Brazil’s oldest ever player at a World Cup! 🇧🇷

The lineups are out for both teams. Let's take a look at them.

To qualify for the next round, Cameroon will not only have to beat Brazil but also be dependent on the outcome of the other fixture. If the match between Serbia and Switzerland ends in a draw, Cameroon will have to win by a margin of two goals. If both Serbia and Cameroon win their respective fixtures, it will come down to goal difference of the two teams.

Brazil have already sealed a place in the round of 16 and it is only about topping the group for them today. Cameroon have everything to play for as they still aspire to make it to the knockout stages but it isn't going to be an easy for them.

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage for the fixture between Cameroon and Brazil. This is the final round of matches in group G as we are just a day away from the knockout rounds to start. Parallelly, Switzerland will be facing Serbia tonight in the other match of the group.
