World Cup: Cameroon and Serbia share thrilling 3-3 draw - reaction

This is how the Group G table looks after that game.

A draw keeps Serbia and Cameroon's hopes alive, though Brazil and Switzerland are in the driving seat.

A win for either side in their match later on will seal their place in the knockout stages.

Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored seven goals in his last six games for Serbia in all competitions, with the Fulham striker becoming the first player to score more than once at the World Cup for the nation.

Meanwhile, Andrija Zivkovic became the first Serbia player to provide two assists in a single World Cup match, setting up Milinkovic-Savic and Mitrovic's goals against Cameroon.

It was all going so well for Serbia, who scored two goals in first-half stoppage-time to lead 2-1 at the break. A brilliant team goal early in the second period then extended their advantage.

I could not see Cameroon getting back into the game at that stage.

Football eh.

Cameroon scored three goals in a World Cup match for the very first time, in what was their 25th game in the competition. It was the first time in 16 games they'd even scored more than once at the tournament, since a 2-2 draw with Sweden in 1994.

Cameroon have to now beat Brazil so do you go 4-2-4? That would be seriously brave because if you had Eric Choupo-Moting and Vincent Aboubakar you could go and launch it. Now that is a big ask but if you are going to go out of the World Cup then go for it although it is not impossible.

Was that the game of the tournament? It was definitely up there - thumbs up if you agree!

While you are at it make sure you check out this finish from Vincent Aboubakar for Cameroon's second goal.

Outrageous.

Cameroon got better and stronger as the game went on, you never knew right up until the last few seconds. Vincent Aboubakar must be thinking why didn't you start me but that is because you would have to play 4-2-4 and that is a very open system.

A great contest between two different styles, I wish every game was like this.

Both sides can be extremely proud of their performance, though it is the Cameroon players who look the more buoyant. There's plenty of high fives and hugs among the players.

Serbia, in contrast, look a little deflated as they walk over to applaud their supporters.

SMS Message: Game of the tournament so far? Both teams in need of a win and really going for it! You don't get to enjoy games likes this when you support one of the "big" (in footballing terms) nations. Everyone sets up not to be beaten by you.. from Will

To quote the great Barry Davies: You have to say that was magnificent.

Even though there has been six goals you can't question either of the goalkeepers.

There was another Serbia sub in all that drama - Filip Kostic is replaced by Filip Djuricic.

Georges-Kevin Nkoudou takes, but it is easy for Vanja Milinkovic-Savic to claim.

Nikola Milenkovic is booked for a foul on a Cameroon player over on the far touchline.

Free-kick Cameroon in a dangerous position.

This is a chance.

Rigobert Song is franticly gesticulating to his players on the touchline. I think it can be interpreted as 'calm down and focus', though I could be wrong.

Devis Epassy is at it again, making a superb block to deny Aleksandar Mitrovic once more - though the Serbia striker was flagged offside.

That is the second time in the game that the ball has fallen to Aleksandar Mitrovic and you think... that will be a goal.

He was maybe trying too hard to put it right into the corner, for Mitrovic they are usually on target.

Six minutes to be added on.

Wish there was more to be honest.

Inches! A matter of inches!

Devis Epassy is unmoved as a first-time effort from Aleksandar Mitrovic flashes past his left-hand post.
