Cameroon's World Cup ended in a blaze of glory as they secured a first win in 20 years at the tournament with a 1-0 victory over Brazil on Friday night, but unfortunately it was not enough to take them through to the knockout stage.

The Indomitable Lions needed to beat a Brazil side mostly made up of reserves and hope that Serbia could overcome Switzerland, but the Swiss won 3-2 to grab second spot in Group G behind the Brazilians to knock Cameroon out.

“It's a real shame that we have to go home now, but you need to look on the bright side. We need to keep working and keep moving, I trust in my players,” coach Rigobert Song told a postgame media conference. Vincent Aboubakar scored a superb header in second-half stoppage time before getting sent off for collecting a second yellow card during his wild celebration of the goal that gave Cameroon their first win at the World Cup since beating Saudi Arabia in 2002.
