Beating Brazil tempers Cameroon disapppointment over World Cup exit.
But a 1-0 victory over the five-time world champions, albeit fielding a second-string side, will temper the disappointment of yet another early exit for the Indomitable Lions, just as Tunisia beating World Cup holders France earlier this week softened the blow of their depature from the tournament.
Cameroon have long been riding on the reputation forged at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, when they beat holders Argentina, Romania and Colombia on their way to the last eight, becoming the first African country to get that far. Cameroon were most fortunate to qualify for Qatar with a stoppage time goal away against Algeria in extra time of their playoff tie in March but it has allowed Samuel Eto’o, the four-time African Footballer of the Year, the opportunity to put his stamp on the team.
