FIFA World Cup 2022: The losing team will be eliminated without reaching the knockout stage
In the Qatar World Cup, the Goop G match between Cameroon and Serbia started. Cameron took the lead early in the match by scoring a goal. Castelletto scored the goal in the 29th minute. But Serbia fought back with two goals in two minutes in first half injury time. Pavlovic scored the equalizing goal for Serbia in injury time. Savich took the lead within two minutes. Mitrovic netted Serbia’s third goal in the fifty-third minute of the second half.
A win in the match is crucial for both the teams. Both teams had lost their first match in the group. Therefore, if Switzerland loses today’s match between Switzerland and Brazil, the team that wins both teams can keep their hopes alive.
In the last match, Serbia suffered a two-goal defeat once morest Brazil, while Cameroon succumbed to Switzerland by a one-sided goal. Serbia has yet to defeat an African nation in the World Cup. Twice when they faced African countries, the result was failure. Serbia lost to Ivory Coast (23) in 2006 and Ghana (01) in 2010.
Cameroon has not won a single match in the last four World Cups played. In the 2002, 2010, 2014 and 2022 World Cups, they played in eight matches but failed to win a single one. Serbia has played 10 times in the World Cup matches and the result has been defeat in all eight matches.
