Two quick goals put Cameroon behind in Monday’s World Cup match against Serbia, and it was two quick goals that put them right back in the mix.
Trailing 3-1 early in the second half, Cameroon roared back with two tallies in a three-minute span to draw level.
Vincent Aboubakar made it a 3-2 game in the 64th minute with a cheeky flick over Serbian goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savić. An official initially lifted his flag up to indicate offside, but the goal counted as Aboubakar timed a perfect run.
