Cameroon relying on counter attacks to relieve the pressure, because other than that it has been all Serbia.

You can see it in Mitrovic's face. Hitting the post and his big miss a few minutes later will stay with him the longer Serbia go without being ahead.Cameroon 1-0 Serbia (Castelletto)
Well now... Cameroon corner inswinging into the box. A couple of flicks and Nantes centre-back Jean-Charles Castelletto is free at the far post to slot home.

No offside. Goal stands. Cameroon supporters go wild! And they've been in great voice since kick-off.Nicolas Nkoulou had picked up the game's first yellow card just before Cameroon took the lead, for a foul. Christian Bassogog was then booked for his part in the celebrations of Castelletto's goal.

So Cameroon are also leading that score, 2-0.

They're growing in confidence in the game too.There is a slight desperation creeping into Serbia's finishing. You can tell. Now they know they need to produce something to likely stay in the tournament, you can see the composure lacking.

It's a nice cutback to Tadic, but he sits back and his shot drifts well over.Pierre Kunde continues to look Cameroon's biggest attacking threat as he breaks down their right inside channel. This time the forward fires low and forces Milinkovic-Savic into a decent stop, before slotting the rebound well wide.

The Indomitable Lions currently look as likely to extend their lead, as Serbia do equalisingThat's a fine header. Serbia corner, Choupo-Moting gets caught under the delivery a little, and Pavlovic uses that space to send a wonderful head back across goal and just inside the post.Serbia pressure leads to a sight of goal from the edge of the box for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who strikes a fine slow shot inside his near post.

However, there will be questions over whether goalkeeper Devis Epassy could have done better with keeping it out, and therefore whether Andre Onana would have...Well, that was fun. Unless you're from Cameroon.

Everything was going so well for them until we reached added time. Then it exploded. Credit to Serbia, who took full advantage once they got back into the game.

That Cameroon dressing room at half time will be an interesting place. I hope there's a camera and microphone...That could be one of the team goals of this World Cup. It starts as a counter and ends with a delightful passage of passing that allows Mitrovic to side-foot into an empty net.

It is worth adding, that Cameroon defending is pretty horrific. Thing are clearly not good in that camp, and Onana's absence was a symptom of it.Lovely run from Aboubakar, taking on two defenders and beating them. His next touch is a little heavy however, and with that he loses the opportunity to fire a shot on goal.

But it's a nice reminder that if Cameroon can get a goal back, then this game may not be dead. Cameroon continuing to show an attacking threat. It may be at the other end that they lose this, however.

First up, Aboubakar runs in behind and then lobs Milinkovic-Savic. The referee flags for offside, but the VAR check then reveals he is just onside. Cue celebrations. Game on.

Three minutes later, Aboubakar breaks Serbia's high line again and then squares for Choupo-Moting to fire home. Another VAR offside check, and this time Milenkovic (I think) on the far side is playing Aboubakar on.

A truly remarkable three minutes of this World Cup.

Game on indeed...90+1: Big save, Epassy
Mitrovic is played in, Epassy comes off his line and the keeper's chin keeps the shot out. Great save.

It may have been that Mitrovic was offside, but let's not worry about that. There is a strong goalkeepers' narrative with this Cameroon team right now.
