Cameroon stunned the globe with a 1-0 victory over defending champions Argentina in their opening match, despite ending the game with only nine men following some robust challenges to halt the South Americans. The Indomitable Lions followed that shock success with a 2-1 triumph against Romania, where Roger Milla stepped off the bench to net twice and become the oldest scorer in the history of the tournament – a record he still holds after getting on the score-sheet again in 1994.
With progression already assured, Cameroon slumped to a 4-0 defeat to the Soviet Union in their final Group B outing, but returned to winning ways in a tense last-16 clash with Colombia. Extra time was needed to separate the sides, with super-sub Milla again scoring twice, helped by some wayward goalkeeping from the eccentric Rene Higuita.

England’s path to the quarter-finals could not match the drama and intrigue of their African opponents, particularly during their Group F campaign, where a grand total of seven goals were scored by the four teams over six matches, and only one fixture did not end all square. An opening 1-1 draw with Republic of Ireland for Bobby Robson’s side was followed by a 0-0 stalemate against the Netherlands, leaving everything resting on the Three Lions’ final clash with Egypt, where central defender Mark Wright was the unlikely goalscoring hero.
