Yellow cards
Kai Trewin received a yellow card for a foul on Yongwa. Shortly after, Moungam received a yellow card for a foul on Irankunda. Cameroon then made a substitution, with Yongwa leaving and Mael Monyebe entering.
Goal for Australia
With a through ball, Jordan Bos received it and found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper, shooting low into the right corner and sending the ball into the back of the net, opening the scoring for Australia late in the second half!
Epassy
Mabil received the pass up front and found Irankunda in front, who shot hard, but into Epassy's hands. Soon after, Australia made three substitutions, with O'Neill, Circati, and Italiano leaving and Trewin, Degenek, and Yazbek entering.
Out
After saving the penalty, Cameroon made two substitutions, with Ambina and Kamdem leaving and Yondijo and Alloum entering. Shortly after, from a cross into the area, Circati headed the ball towards Burgess, who managed a powerful header, but it went wide.
Epassy saves
O'Neill received the pass and was brought down in the area by Oliver Kamdem, with the penalty awarded after VAR review! Hrustic took the penalty, shooting to the left corner, but Epassy dived to claim the ball, saving Cameroon!
Change in Australia
We are experiencing a slowdown in the match, with little happening on the field. And Australia is taking advantage of this drop in pace to make changes, with McGree, Metcalfe and Geria leaving and Burgess, Okon and Hrustic entering.
Yellow card
Alessandro Circati received a yellow card for a hard foul on Kofane in midfield. Shortly before, the game was stopped for treatment to Arthur Avom, who was in pain, but he has already returned to the game. We are currently experiencing a period with few dangerous attacks.
Out
Awer Mabil received the pass up front and crossed for Metcalfe to get a strong shot, which was saved. Following that, Cameroon had a great attack with Kofane finding Fosso, who shot from distance, sending the ball over the goal.
Change in Australia
At halftime, Australia made two substitutions, with Deni Juric and Martin Boyle leaving and Awer Mabil and Nestory Irankunda entering. Shortly after, from an Italiano cross, McGree got a shot off, but sent the ball wide!
Second half starts
The players are back on the field and the second half of the match between Australia and Cameroon is underway, with all the action and excitement in real time here on VAVEL, in this Friday's FIFA Series match!
Yellow card
We now have a yellow card for Danny Namaso, for a hard foul on Martin Boyle. Curiously, it is the first yellow card in a game with very few fouls called, where both teams play without violence or a standstill game.
Drop in pace
After many good attacks from both teams in the attacking third, we have a slight drop in pace at the moment, where little is happening. Australia is trying to maintain possession in the attacking third after seeing Cameroon create several dangerous chances in a row.
Out again
Emmanuel Moungam received the pass up front and shot hard, but sent the ball over the goal, wide once again. Cameroon managed some excellent attacks in the final minutes of the game, putting pressure on Australia.
Out
Darlin Yongwa received the pass on the counter-attack, sprinting to cross and find Che Malone, who rose and headed powerfully, but sent the ball wide to the left of the goal. The game was then stopped for treatment to Boyle, who was in pain after a collision.
Blocked
Australia, after struggling under pressure from Cameroon, managed a breakaway attack where Italiano found Riley McGree with a long-range shot, but it was blocked by the defense. Following this attack, Italiano went down, received treatment, and is now back in the game.
Ryan!
On the right, Cameroon won a corner, taken into the area by Arthur Avom, where Christian Kofane rose and headed powerfully towards the right corner, but Matthew Ryan parried the ball away to save Australia. Shortly afterwards, the game was stopped for treatment to Juric, who was in pain, but he had already returned to the game.
Blocked again
Cameroon continued to maintain possession, putting pressure on Australia even while playing away from home, and in a long-range shot, Oliver Kamdem's effort was blocked, with Samuel Kotto picking up the rebound to shoot from distance, also hitting the defense.
Blocked
Now it was Cameroon's turn to start with high pressure, winning a corner kick, taken into the area by Danny Namaso for Christian Kofane to head, but the ball was saved. Cameroon maintained possession and began to pressure Australia.
Corner
We have a slower start to the game, where Australia starts with possession, exchanging passes without speeding up the match, while Cameroon closes up defensively, in addition to winning a corner kick, which is taken into the area and cleared by the defense.
