Mark Milligan's
second-half penalty meant Australia and Cameroon had to settle for a 1-1 draw
in the Confederations Cup in St Petersburg. Both sides were chasing a win after
losing their opening fixtures in Group B, but an end-to-end match saw the two
teams cancel each other out and effectively end their chances of progression.
Andre Anguissa opened
the scoring in first-half stoppage-time as he raced onto a long ball from
defender Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui
which exposed Australia's high back-line before poking the ball over the head
of onrushing goalkeeper Mathew Ryan.
Alex Gersbach was brought down
inside the area and Milligan despatched the spot-kick with precision after the
video assistant referee (VAR) had ruled in favour of Australia.
Both sides wasted good chances
to win the game late on, with the final result ultimately helping neither side
in the quest for qualification from the group.
