Heartbroken Man United star storms off as Cameroon miss out on World Cup qualification following agonising defeat

Cameroon have missed out on qualification for next year's World Cup - causing Manchester United star Bryan Mbeumo to storm off the field in frustration.

After African qualifying was wrapped up in the last international break in terms of the group phase, Cameroon had finished second in their group, four points behind first-time qualifiers Cape Verde.

It meant they would face a play-off against a team from another group, and would take on DR Congo. They went into the game as heavy favourites, but suffered an agonising 1-0 defeat.

Chancel Mbemba, formerly of Newcastle, scored the winner in stoppage time, triggering ecstatic scenes as Cameroon players fell to the ground.
