Serbia have also had difficulty at the World Cup. Additionally, they suffered their first defeat in Group G, losing to tournament favorites Brazil, who took home all three points.
Cameroon were set to lead at the interval, before goals from Pavlovic and Milinkovic-Savic in stoppage time changed the outcome in Serbia’s favor.
After Mitrovic blew two excellent chances, Song’s team was the one to break the tie. It came from Castelletto, who was at the back post when Tolo’s corner was taken, and he slammed it into the goal from close range.
However, Serbia recovered and scored two goals in the last seconds of the first half to take the lead.
Pavlovic converted Tadic’s free-kick past Epassy to get the equalizer, and Milinkovic-Savic then curled a shot into the bottom corner.
When Mitrovic completed a brilliant move for Serbia, it appeared like Serbia had won all three points before the Cameroon coach made his substitution.
The extra striker, Aboubakar in place of Hongla, was the key. recovering a goal with a wonderful chip, the 30-year-old received the goal following a VAR review.

A loss here would have equaled the longest losing streak by a country at the World Cup, set by Mexico between 1930 and 1958. Cameroon has lost their last eight games at the World Cup, with those losses occurring over four tournaments (2002, 2010, 2014, and 2022). (nine in a row).
The highest losing percentage of any team that has played at least 10 games in the competition belongs to Serbia, which has lost eight of its ten World Cup games as an independent nation (80%).
