With a win in the next match against Romania (2-1) meant they secured the knock-out stage. Last match was a big loss from the Soviets (0-4) but anyway Cameroon finished as first placed in the group. Next game was versus South American's Colombia. No goals in the first 90 minutes. Milla scored two in the extra time. Redin added one for Colombia five minutes before the end as the match finished 2-1. In the quarter-final we saw a great match against England. Three Lions took a first half lead. Kunde and Ekeke overturned the result. Lineker scored second for England so it meant we are going into extra time. Lineker scored his second and final goal of the match. England was better 2-3 (a.e.t.).
