The group stage of the World Championship ended with a surprising victory of Cameroon (1:0) against the Brazilian team.
The Africans surged forward at the very end of the match, when Vincent Aboubakar sent the ball into the net.
However, the 30-year-old forward couldn't control his emotions and celebrating the goal, he took off his shirt, earning a second yellow card.
As a result, V. Aboubakar entered football history and became the first player since the legendary Zinedine Zidane to score a goal in the same World Championship match and later receive a red card.
The Cameroon team, finishing third in Group G, did not advance to the quarterfinals.
