Cameroon vs Cabo Verde: Marc Brys breaks Rigobert Song’s record

Despite the controversy surrounding his appointment, Marc Brys brilliantly guided his team to a historic victory on Matchday 3 of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Under his guidance, the Indomitable Lions crushed Cape Verde 4-1 to top the qualifying group with 7 points, ahead of Libya.

This spectacular victory was marked by an exceptional performance from Vincent Aboubakar, and was also noted for the way in which it was achieved. In just 55 minutes, the Cameroon team scored four goals, a feat never achieved under former coach Rigobert Song.

During Song’s two years and 24 matches while in charge of the national team, Cameroon had never managed to score four goals in 90 minutes. For the 62-year-old beigian technician, achieving this feat in less than an hour was an exceptional and promising start to his tenure.
