In the second round of Group G of the World Cup group stage in Qatar, Cameroon scored two goals to equalize the score after falling 3-1 and drew 3-3 with Serbia, each with one point. The draw allowed Cameroon to end an eight-game losing streak since 2002 and nearly equalled Mexico's record of the longest nine-game losing streak in a World Cup.
Cameroon took a 1-0 lead in the first half thanks to a goal from Casteliotto, followed by Serbia scoring two goals in two minutes of first-half stoppage time, with goals from Pavlovic and Milinkovic, respectively, to put Serbia up to 2-1. Many domestic fans thought Cameroon's starting goalkeeper was too watery and was scored by Serbian players as soon as he shot on target.
In the second half, the Cameroonian boss saw that the team's attack was not improving and began to make changes to send Abubakar on. Abubacar came off the bench shortly after completing a beautiful one-knife pick, which was very spectacular, helping Cameroon recover a goal 2-2.
At the beginning of Abubakar's goal, the lineman raised the flag to indicate that the goal was offside, and the referee ruled that the goal was invalid, and then VAR intervened, and the referee made a major change to indicate that Abubakar's goal was valid and not offside.
Many domestic fans believe that if this is not offside, then Lautaro's goal against Saudi Arabia is even less offside, so there is a lot of controversy.
Soon the broadcast official gave the answer, Abubakar in the moment of the teammate's pass, his shoulder is over the Serbian player, but the referee to see if it is offside, is the defensive player's foot position, from the above parallel line picture, Abubakal's shoulder is not more than the Serbian player's foot, so this is not offside, the fan saw the wrong through the broadcast camera.
This World Cup is the first time FIFA has used the automatic marking function, and the technology came in handy in less than 5 minutes into the opening match between Qatar and Ecuador.
