Mexico v Cameroon, 13 June 2014

Kick-off: 1.00pm local (5.00pm BST) Man of the Match: Giovani dos Santos (Mexico) Assistant referees: Humberto Clavijo (Colombia) Eduardo Díaz (Colombia) Fourth official: Norbert Hauata (Tahiti) Fifth official: Aden Marwa (Kenya) The two teams had met in one previous match, in a friendly in 1993, won by Mexico 1–0. Mexico's Giovani dos Santos had two goals disallowed for offside in the first half. However, replays showed that he was in line with the last defender for the first case, whilst the ball came from a Cameroon player for the second. In the second half, dos Santos had a shot saved by the Cameroon goalkeeper, Charles Itandje, but the ball rebounded into the path of Oribe Peralta, who slotted the ball into the empty net with his left foot. Mexico captain Rafael Márquez made history by becoming the first player to captain his nation in four different World Cups. Samuel Eto'o also appeared in his fourth World Cup, joining fellow Cameroonians Jacques Songo'o and Rigobert Song as the only African players to have achieved the feat.
