Almost immediately the Al Nassr striker pulled a goal back with an audacious lob over goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savić which will go down as one of the best goals of the tournament.

There was a suspicion of offside and perhaps Aboubakar’s finish was so nonchalant because he assumed the goal would be disallowed. Thankfully a VAR check ruled that he was onside, and the goal stood.

Vincent Aboubakar JUST being played onside by the boot of Nikola Milenkovic for Cameroon's second goal. Won't get a VAR onside call much more marginal. (He was well onside when he created Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting's goal). #CMRSRB #FIFAWorldCup

And moments later, the 30-year-old was involved again as he brilliantly assisted Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting to complete a sensational comeback and make it 3-3.

2 - Vincent Aboubakar 🇨🇲 is the first player to both score and assist in the same World Cup game as a substitute for an African nation since at least 1966. Impact.
