Cameroon returned hope for a miracle to its fans when they lost 1:3 against Serbia, but managed to record a 3:3 draw in the end. This result made it possible to continue the fight for getting into the playoffs and the team will be able to do this for the first time in 32 years. To do this, the five-time African champion needs only to beat the Brazilian national team. In addition, the team needs a positive outcome in the duel between Serbia and Switzerland. There are some “buts”. Not a single African team has beaten the Brazilian team for the past twenty years. Moreover, Cameroon’s 1:0 victory in the FIFA Confederations Cup against Selesao in 2003 remains the only time a team from the CAF region has beaten Brazil or kept a clean sheet. It should be noted that it was Rigobert Song who led the starting lineup that day. Today Onan will not be able to enter the field, whom the team coach decided not to release.
A tight 1:0 victory over Switzerland on Monday came thanks to a late strike from Casemiro. This success ensured the Brazilians a safe entry into the playoffs. In turn, the Selesao’s anticipated path to yet another world title – an all-time record sixth – could still be perfect. Recall that the South American team has already won without a draw in the group stage or a penalty shootout in the playoffs. This was the case in 1970 and 2002, when Mario Zagallo and Luis Felipe Scolari, respectively, led the Pentacampions. The Yellow-Greens have another new record. The Brazilians won the group stage for the tenth time in a row. Neymar, Danilo and Alex Sandro, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to play today.
