Cameroon coach Rigobert Song has showered praises on his players following an impressive performance in the second-half of their 3-3 draw against Serbia at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Cameroon fought back from 3-1 down to grab a point and keep alive their hopes of progressing to the last 16.
Vincent Aboubakar beat the offside trap to pull a goal back in stunning fashion with a scooped lob before setting up the equaliser three minutes later.
"In these competitions you have to show desire for victory," said Aboubakar after the game
"My team-mates played a great first half despite some small mistakes. We felt they [Serbia] were shaky and a bit tired. When I came on, I tried to make the most of it.
"[The] most important [thing] is to give the Cameroon people joy. What matters is the mindset and the collective spirit, and in that regard we played a great game."
He added, "What was important was to show that great fighting spirit and determination."
"We reacted as well as we could [at 3-1 down] to get back into the match. We are progressing and improving."
The result ended an unwanted record for Cameroon of eight consecutive defeats at the World Cup, a run stretching back to the 2002 tournament in Japan and South Korea.
