Cameroon’s Aboubakar Picks Up Red Card After Scoring Winner vs. Brazil

Brazil appeared to be headed to a scoreless draw in Friday’s World Cup match against Cameroon at Lusail Stadium.

For more than 90 minutes (including stoppage time), with its second-string players starting, Brazil’s defense kept Cameroon from notching a goal. That’s until Vincent Aboubakar changed the scoreboard, notching the lone goal of the game off of a pass from Jerome Ngom Mbekeli.

However, immediately after Aboubakar found the back of the net to break the deadlock, the forward removed shirt in a celebratory moment and received a red card after previously getting a yellow card in the match for an aggressive tackle on Brazil’s Gabriel Martinelli.
