Referee shows veteran striker Vincent Aboubakar respect with handshake before he sent him off against Brazil (Photos)

Vincent Aboubakar, captain of the Cameroon national team, ended Cameroon's 20-year absence from the FIFA World Cup.

The indomitable Lions bowed out in style by securing a memorable late victory over Brazil, five-time world champions, but it was not enough for the African team to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup's quarterfinals.

Vincent Aboubakar, the Cameroonian captain who was given a yellow card for celebrating after scoring against Brazil on Friday night, was sent off for receiving a second yellow card for taking off his shirt.

Referee Ismail Elfath was seen shaking Vincent Aboubakar and patting his head after giving him a red card. This was a sign of respect for Aboubakar.
