What a game we've had here at Al Janoub. Cameroon went into half-time after a chaotic end and a 3-1 deficit but in the second half, it was Serbia's turn to break down. The Indomitable Lions have kept themselves alive at the World Cup and could potentially have won this game towards the end.

We move to Group H where South Korea lock horns with Ghana in a Group H game. Until next time, this is your commentator Aditya Hosangadi bidding you adieu. Cheers, and have a great day at the FIFA World Cup!

Full-Time: Cameroon 3-3 Serbia

90+5' Shot on goal! But a comfortable save for the keeper.

Senegal have a set-piece opportunity. They could get their winner here..

90+3' N'Koudou makes a nuisance of himself, and Milenkovic fouls him in a dangerous area. Yellow Card.

90+2' Serbia make a change - Kostic replaced by Filip Djuricic.

90+1' HUGE save from Depassy! Mitrovic is played through, but the goalkeeper rushes out and makes himself big. The offside flag is raised anyway, but that was excellent from the Cameroonian.

Six minutes of stoppage-time.

89' Mitrovic! Finds space and time in the box to shoot, but it's wide! That was a good chance for Serbia.

88' Kostic with a chance! Beats his man and tries to curl his cross, but it's too close the the goalkeeper.

87' Aboubakar with a shot! Comfortable save, but Cameroon are looking so much more positive after his arrival.

85' Bassogog surges down the right, but fails to beat his man. Serbia's defence is standing firm, but they'll need to get on the front foot to win.

83' Kostic with a chance! Does well to break into the final third but the attack is defended well by Cameroon.

81' Double change for Cameroon - Anguissa and Mbeumo off for Gouet and N'Koudou.

80' Serbia make a triple change, with Veljkovic, Zivkovic, and Savic replaced by Radonjic, Babic, and Grujic.

78' Savic from distance! No one presses him yet again, and he takes a shot that sails over the post. Cameroon need to be more proactive with their pressing.

76' Flag stays down for Mitrovic in a 1v1 with the goalkeeper, but Depassy makes a good save!

74' Cameroon are bursting forward with confidence now - they're looking for a winner! Serbia have now become resolute in defence.

68' Serbia are shellshocked, and they're furious with themselves. They've been unnecessarily frantic in the last 10 minutes, and they've paid for it.

Chaos from Serbia, and the Indomitable Lions come roaring back! What a game!

Incredible scenes at Al Janoub! Aboubakar once again at the centre of it all, on the counter and Aboubakar is onside yet again. Brilliant stuff! Cuts it back to Choupo-Moting, who comfortably finishes into an open net.

3-3, CAMEROON ARE LEVEL!

That came from nowhere. Played in behind, and what a finish! Chipped over the keeper to pull one back. Seemed offside initally after the Serbian defence stepped up, but Milenkovic's foot played him onside. The goal's awarded after a VAR check!

63' ABOUBAKAR SCORES! 3-2!

62' Ekambi does well to get a shot away, but it's much too close to Milinkovic-Savic.

60' Mitrovic with another forward foray and cut-back, but it's intercepted by Cameroon.

56' Choupo-Moting, that was close! Mbeumo steps up with a great delivery into the box, and the Bayern striker is inches close to a header with his leap.

56' Pavlovic seems to be struggling with a knock, and he might have to leave the field. Stefan Mitrovic on to replace him.

That is a piece of sheer art from Serbia. They make a mockery of the Cameroonian defence, with Mitrovic, Kostic, and Zivkovic passing themselves into goal with consummate ease. Cameroon have been slow to recover after the losing the ball, and they're paying the price.

53' MITROVIC! 3-1 TO SERBIA!

51' Milikovic-Savic plays a pass in behind Cameroon on the right, but Nouhou shows a good turn of pace to win the foul.

49' Excellent work from Lukic to hold off two opponents to get the ball out wide, and Kostic proceeds to cause problems in the final third. Cameroon's defence steps up this time, but find themselves pinned into their own half.

48' Cameroon keep the ball for a couple of minutes before losing out to Serbia in midfield.

The second half is underway!
Cameroon kick things off, attacking from left to right.

We're back at the Al Janoub Stadium for the second half. Will Serbia add to their lead, or can Cameroon pull off what will be a historic comeback?

Aleksandar Mitrovic has been a constant nuisance, and Zivkovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic have been excellent. Serbia have turned this game on its head, and the ball is now in Cameroon's court. Can they bounce back? We'll be back in a few minutes with the second half.

Serbia were the better team, and they now have two goals to show for it. Cameroon enjoyed a brief spell of dominance and they did well to score their goal. Serbia grew into the game, and some chaotic defending at the end of the first half saw two goals scored in quick succession.

HALF-TIME: Cameroon 2-1 Serbia

45+8' Kunde with another sharp delivery to the near post, but Serbia clear this time.

45+7' Nervous moment for Serbia, as Cameroon counter with Mbeumo who punts it up the pitch. Milinkovic-Savic has the sun in his eyes but manages to clear. Corner for Cameroon.

45+6' Mitrovic, nearly a third! Acres of space with only one man to beat, and the striker fires his shot narrowly wide. Another corner for Serbia.

And the game's turned on its head! In two minutes, Serbia have bounced back to take the lead. Poor defending, no one closes him down, and you can't give Sergej Milinkovic-Savic that kind of space. Cuts in on his left foot, and fires an excellent shot to the bottom corner.

45+4' 2-1 TO SERBIA, MILIKOVIC-SAVIC!

45+3' Zivkovic with a throw deep into the box, but Cameroon are able to clear their lines this time. It's a nervy finish to this half.

It's a free header in the box, and Pavlovic makes no mistake. Choupo-Moting doesn't get high enough with his jump, and Pavlovic does brillianly with an excellent finish. Game on!

45+1' THE EQUALIZER FROM PAVLOVIC! 1-1!

Six minutes of added time.

45' Cameroon press Milinkovic-Savic off the ball, but are adjudged to have fouled the Lazio man. Free-kick for Serbia.

43' Kunde! Another powerful bust behind Serbia's lines, and lines up a shot but it's straight at Milikovic-Savic. Fires wide from the rebound.

40' Serbia are mounting attack after attack at the moment, but aren't able to find their final product. Tadic and Zivkovic link up again, but Cameroon clear their lines comfortably.

38' Zivkovic to Tadic, and Serbia nearly wreak havoc! The Ajax man is unable to find a teammate with his cut-back, and they'll need to start again.

Cameroon have grown into this game admirably. Serbia have created chances, but the Lions have held their ground.

35' Serbia eventually get the ball out of their own half and attempt a long ball down the flank, but Cameroon's defence is well-positioned.

34' Collins Fai seems in pain after another awkward fall. The full-back was running into the box and jumped over a good challenge from Milinkovic-Savic.

33' Serbia lob another ball into the box, and the goalkeeper commits to the catch. Drops the ball momentarily, but is quick to recover.

31' Serbia look for an immediate response with Milinkovic-Savic surging down the left. Tries to find Mitrovic, but Nkoulou steps up in the nick of time to intercept, and picks up a minor knock for his troubles.

Cameroon have scored their first goal at the 2022 World Cup. They'll now want to secure their first victory as well.

Castelletto's first international goal, and it comes at an excellent time. The Lions take the perfect corner, with a flick at the near post. Castelletto comes in completely unmarked at the far post, and touches it into an open net. A great goal against the run of play!

29' CASTELLETTO SCORES! Cameroon with the lead, 1-0!

27' Serbia play the ball long to Mitrovic and rally around their forward to attack Cameroon's box. Mbeumo tracks back well to shield the ball out of play and win a goal kick.

25' Serbia have pinned Cameroon into their own half, and they're ramping up the pressure. The Lions need their forward players to step up on the counter.

24' Yellow Card for Nkoulou, for a foul on Zivkovic. Poor shielding from the midfielder there, and he can have no arguments.

23' Serbia get the corner into a good area, but the goalkeeper positions himself well to claim a comfortable catch. They try to play the ball out quickly, but lose possession and concede a foul in midfield.

21' Maksimovic with another good pass! Zivkovic nearly gets to it, but Cameroon recover just in time to concede the corner.

20' Kunde fires in a shot from the corner, but it's blocked. Serbia win the loose ball and are fouled in their own box.

19' Good work from Kunde! Great run to get in behind the Serbian defence, and gets power in his show, but Milinkovic-Savic makes the save and concedes a corner.

18' Mbeumo with a good cross, but no one's in the box to attack it. Cameroon's first real attack tonight.

17' How has Mitrovic missed that!? The ball falls to his feet 6 yards away from goal, he's centrally placed, and he misses from close range. Massive blunder from Cameroon there, and they're lucky to survive.

14' Cameroon are temporarily down to ten men, and Serbia are keeping the ball comfortably.

11' OFF THE POST! Mitrovic sits his man down after a neat one-two, and curls his left-footed effort to the far post. Clatters into the woodwork - best chance of the game so far!

9' Serbia have settled into their rhythm now, and they're getting the better of these opening exchanges. Milinkovic-Savic puts in another cross towards Mitrovic but it's far too deep for the Fulham man.

6' Mitrovic with a header! Loops above Cameroon's goal, but that is Serbia's primary point of attack. Mitrovic applauds Maksimovic for his cross - he'll need more where that came from.

5' Excellent pressure from Cameroon as they win the ball deep in Serbia's half. They don't do well with their attack, however, and Serbia get dangerously close to breaking their lines on the counter.

3' Cameroon win the ball back after a brief spell of possession from Serbia. The goalkeeper goes long, and they lose the ball almost immediately. Neither side is particularly known for keeping the ball for extended spells.

2' Mitrovic is back up and running! Still moving carefully, and he'll take some time to get his mobility back.

This would be a big blow to Serbia, but they do have options on the bench in Valhovic and Jovic.

1' Concerns for Serbia from kick-off, with Mitrovic falling awkwardly on his shin. He's in some serious pain.

KICK-OFF!
Serbia get things underway, attacking from left to right.

Right, so we're less than 10 minutes from kick-off at the Al Janoub Stadium. Time for the anthems!

Cameroon have axed Andre Onana from the squad to battle Serbia today.

The Inter Milan goalkeeper reportedly questioned Samuel Eto’o's involvement with the team.

I understand Eto'o passion, but he needs to calm down and allow the coaches to work. Freedom for the players as well.

Serbia have plenty of quality on the bench, and the likes of Gudelj, Vlahovic, and Jovic could play key roles in the second half. Can the Balkan giants bounce back from their Brazil defeat? Or will Cameroon pull off another memorable African victory at the 2022 World Cup?

Stay tuned to find out! We'll be back in a few minutes with live updates from the Al Janoub Stadium.

Cameroon persist with a largely similar lineup and will be hoping that their dynamic front three can trouble the Serbian defence.

Devis Epassy; Jean-Charles Castelletto, Nicolas Nkoulou, Nouhou Tolo, Collins Fai; Pierre Kunde, Martin Hongla, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa; Bryan Mbeumo, Eric-Maxim Choupo Moting, Karl Toko Ekambi

Hello, and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Group G encounter between Cameroon and Serbia! This is Aditya Hosangadi, your host for the evening, and we should have a great match on our hands today.

Both Cameroon and Serbia lost their first games of the tournament and now face the prospect of a decidedly must-win encounter. Cameroon gave a good account of themselves against Switzerland and will be hurting from their defeat. Serbia lost their game against group favourites Brazil but will back themselves in this fixture.
