Vincent Aboubakar removes shirt gets red card.

People are blaming Vincent Aboubakar for removing his shirt and getting a red card. Think of it, have you ever been dying but there’s someone taking long in the toilet… and when they finally get out after 30 minutes and you get in…. you remove all your clothes and put them down and then do your thing. Thats the same feeling of relief you get when you score against Brazil in the 90th minute!

Aboubakar and Cameroon were elated to get the better of tournament favourites Brazil at the World Cup but the victory was not enough to send the African nation through to the next round. Switzerland’s 3-2 win against Serbia ensures they progress as group runners up.

WHAT NEXT FOR BRAZIL? Despite their loss, Brazil finish top of Group G with a better goal difference than Switzerland. They will take on South Korea in the last 16 while Switzerland face Portugal.

Vincent Aboubakar signed off from the 2022 World Cup in style, scoring a stoppage-time winner against Brazil and being sent off for a second yellow card after removing his shirt during his celebration.

Normally, any player who gets a second yellow for taking their shirt off would be mocked relentlessly, but with Aboubakar? Honestly, we kind of dig it.

After all, the game was in stoppage time so Cameroon was likely going to hold on to their 1-0 lead regardless of having to finish with 10 men. Also (though it’s unclear if Aboubakar actually knew this at the time) Cameroon was almost certainly going to be eliminated at that point anyway based on Switzerland’s lead over Serbia, removing the chance Aboubakar could have gotten himself suspended for a knockout round game.

Realizing he would shortly be exiting the pitch, Aboubakar milked the moment for all it was worth after his header and subsequent shirt removal. The striker held his jersey aloft, reminding everyone just who had scored the dramatic winner and who would be imminently red carded.

Referee Ismail Elfath shook Aboubakar’s hand before showing him a red card, almost acknowledging that if there ever was a moment to do it, this was it.

When you’re the first African team to ever beat Brazil at a World Cup, you celebrate however you want. Go on Vincent.
