There were plenty to choose from but it has to be the early kick-off finally delivering on the action front.

In the last such game of the tournament, Cameroon and Serbia put on a classic which ended 3-3 with plenty of twists and turns and a quite outrageous finish from Vincent Aboubakar.

He may have felt he was offside which led to the chip but it was outstanding nonetheless.

The third and final round of group stage action gets underway with the last games from groups A and B.
