STORYLINE:
Thousands gathered in Copacabana Beach to watch Brazil's football team lose against Cameroon in the last game of the group stage at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Vincent Aboubakar's powerful header was historic for Cameroon and Africa at the World Cup.

The stoppage-time goal didn't help Cameroon reach the round of 16 despite the team's 1-0 win over Brazil's reserves.

But it handed the five-time champions their first group-stage loss in 24 years, and gave Africa its first win against Brazil at the tournament.

Brazil had won its previous seven matches against African opponents at the World Cup.

"It was good, but we only played with the reserve team and it could have been better. But on Monday we'll see the real Brazil," said Brazilian Giovani Bittencourt at the Fan Fest.

Brazil, which had already reached the knockout stage after victories over Serbia and Switzerland, still finished first in Group H. It ended with six points, the same as Switzerland, but the South Americans had a better goal difference. Cameroon ended with four points and Serbia had one.

Brazil will face South Korea in the round of 16, while the Swiss will play against Portugal.

It was the 11th straight time Brazil won its World Cup group. It had won 17 straight group games since a 2-1 loss to Norway in 1998 in France. It had lost only one of its last 29 group matches at the tournament.
