Cameroon has now lost each of its last eight World Cup games, with those defeats coming across four tournaments (2002, 2010, 2014, and 2022).
When the score was level and Cameroon looked certain it would end without any goals, Pavlovic scored from a direct free kick. It looked as though Serbia was set to win in the first half when Milinkovic-Savic sealed the match with two beautiful long-range goals. In the final 15 minutes, however, it was equalized by Tadic then Mitrovic. So the final score is Cameroon 3-3 Serbia
