Cameroon coach Rigobert Song praised his team's fighting spirit after they salvaged a 3-3 draw against Serbia at the World Cup on Monday without first-choice goalkeeper Andre Onana, who was left out of the squad for disciplinary reasons.
Cameroon are third in the group on a point and need to beat Brazil in their final game on Friday to stand any chance of reaching the last-16.
“Facafoot reiterates its full support to the head coach and his entire staff as they implement the federation's policy aimed at preserving discipline, solidarity, complementarity and cohesion within the national team. Earlier Song said Onana was “a very important player but we are in a competition and my role is to put the team first ahead of an individual” .
“Maybe we needed a strong signal. It's a big risk that I took. But I'm the dad of these kids so when I have to take risks and make decisions I do that and I stand by what I do.”
