Serbia stretched before sinking Cameroon

Serbia 4-3 Cameroon
Radomir Antić's charges were able to celebrate victory in an entertaining encounter, despite twice falling behind in the opening exchanges.

Serbia 4-3 Cameroon
Radomir Antić's side twice came from behind to secure victory in an entertaining game, however they will hope to tighten up at the back when their FIFA World Cup campaign gets under way against Ghana on 13 June.

Pierre Webó proved Serbia's major tormentor in the early stages and broke the deadlock with just five minutes gone before repeating the feat 15 minutes later, after Miloš Krasić had temporarily levelled the scores. Despite those blows, Serbia found their rhythm after falling behind for the second time and restored parity through Dejan Stanković, ahead of goals in quick succession right before half-time courtesy of Nenad Milijaš – from the penalty spot – and Marko Pantelić.

Despite that platform, Serbia did not add to their tally after the restart and had their advantage trimmed when Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting marked his second Cameroon cap with a goal. That threw the outcome back into doubt, but the European side were ultimately able to hold on.
