- 32' Controversy at the stadium! Christian Bassogog argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 37' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic suffering a number of foals already.

- 61' The travelling Serbia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 64' Magnificent from Vincent Aboubakar! That is 12 goals in 502 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 66' Maxim Choupo-Moting doubles the advantage! 3-3 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 67' The whistle greets Pierre Kunde as he departs to be replaced by Gael Ondoua.
- 72' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Cameroon and Serbia are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

- 81' The Cameroon bench stirs into life. Andre Zambo Anguissa is withdrawn and Samuel Oum Gouet gets his opportunity.
- 86' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 90' Serbia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Filip Duricic is hanging Filip Kostic on the field on 90 minute.
