Cameroon national football team, also known as the Indomitable Lions, is set to play a friendly match against Russia on October 12, 2023, at the Central Dynamo Stadium of Lev Yashin. The match is scheduled to start at 5:00 PM (+1 GMT).
Fans and spectators alike are curious to see if the team can redeem themselves after their underwhelming performance against Russia in the 1994 World Cup tournament.
Can the Indomitable Lions Redeem Themselves from the 1994 World Cup Disgrace?
At the 1994 World Cup tournament in the United States, Russia faced the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in a last-group game. With both teams already out of the tournament, the last group match offered nothing to the neutrals.
24-year-old Oleg Salenko announced his name on the international scene by banging five goals into the net of Cameroon. His goals came at the 16, 41, 45, 72, and 75 minutes of play. Another goal was scored by Dmitriy Radchenko in the 82nd minute to make it six goals for the Russian side.
Cameroon's legend Roger Milla had scored a goal in the 46th minute to try to pull the Indomitable Lions back into the game, but the damage had been done.
Russia VS Cameroon Head-to-Head
Cameroon and Russia will face each other for the 3rd time. In their first encounter, which was at the 1994 World Cup held in the USA, Russia beat Cameroon 6-1.
Their second encounter was a friendly match in 2011, which ended in a goalless draw.
