Cameroon Born scores the winner goal agains his home nation & didn't Celebrate, Kept his promise, Respect.

Embolo made a commitment that he would keep if he scored for the Swiss team against his native nation on Thursday. It ended up being the game's lone goal as Switzerland defeated Cameroon 1-0.

After Embolo scored his 12th goal for Switzerland in the 48th minute off a low pass from Xherdan Shaqiri, the crowd waited and watched to see how he would react.

In the first 30 minutes, both teams had half-chances, with Switzerland controlling possession but Cameroon posing a significant threat on the break.

Yann Sommer denied Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Martin Hongla on two good chances for the African team to score from inside the box.

Onana, the Inter goalkeeper, came to the rescue in the 65th minute when he made a superb save off of Ruben Vargas to preserve the 1-0 score.

After that, Cameroon found it difficult to make anything happen, and a second Switzerland goal appeared more likely than an equalizer. However, neither team was able to score again, giving the European team a crucial victory.
