Vincent Aboubakar scores last gasp winner for Cameroon against Brazil, but gets sent off just seconds later for removing shirt during World Cup drama

Vincent Aboubakar was on hand to score a dramatic late winner for Cameroon against Brazil at the World Cup.

However, the striker was sent off just moments later after he took his shirt off during his celebration.

It was a far from eventful affair at the Lusail Stadium as Group G came to a close.

However, all the drama was saved for stoppage time as Cameroon netted a late goal to claim their only win at this year's World Cup.

Aboubakar scored to give his team a famous World Cup win, but his celebrations were somewhat cut short as the referee sent him off for a second yellow card offence.

He is first player to score and get sent off in a World Cup match after Zinedine Zidane in the 2006 final.

It was the Al Nassr forward's second goal at the tournament, but he won't be able to further add to his tally as Cameroon were ultimately knocked out.

Brazil had already sealed their spot in the Round of 16 thanks to earlier victories against their other Group G opponents Serbia and Switzerland.

They still finished top of the standings, but will likely be disappointed to have not claimed a 100 per cent record in the groups.

In the other match, Serbia and Switzerland entertained in a five goal thriller, with the latter side coming out on top in a 3-2 win.

They will now face Portugal in the knockout stages next week, with Brazil coming up against South Korea.

Aboubakar may not be too fussed about the sending off given his goal sealed a historic win, and he is only the third African to ever score a World Cup goal against Brazil after Didier Drogba in 2010 and Joel Matip in 2014.

Cameroon will be heading home from Qatar having finished third in the group, but they can hold their heads high after a dramatic win against the five-time world champions.
