The 31-year-old scored what turned out to the winner as the Indomitable Lions stunned the Samba Boys at Lusail Stadium
Cameroon forward Vincent Aboubakar has left social media in awe after his superb performance in the 1-0 2022 Fifa World Cup victory against Brazil on Friday.
The 31-year-old Aboubakar stunned the Selecao in the Group G contest at Lusail Stadium when he headed home in the 92nd minute, scoring past Ederson. He was, however, sent off for a second bookable offence for removing his shirt in celebration of the winner.
Though the goal did not help Cameroon to qualify for the Round of 16, fans have taken to social media to hail the Al Nassr star.
A number of fans have rated him beyond the level of Argentina's Lionel Messi, Portuguese's Cristiano Ronaldo and Brazil's Neymar.
Ahead of the World Cup Aboubakar had said in an interview that he was better than Liverpool's Mohamed Salah. Fans have also revived the debate with a cross-section of them agreeing with his sentiments that he was much better than the Egypt international.

I'm starting to believe him when he said Salah is not better than him 🔥This guy is a star. He knows how to carry the team on his shoulders. He is a leader. - @omere_japheth
I now agree that Aboubakar can do whatever Salah does, just get him to a big club. - @geoffreyinnit
