Match overview
Cameroon reached the quarter-finals with a dramatic 2-1 extra-time victory over Colombia in Naples. Roger Milla scored twice in extra time, capitalising on goalkeeper René Higuita’s error for his second goal. Colombia pulled one back through Redín, but Cameroon held on for a historic achievement.
Trivia
Roger Milla became the oldest scorer in World Cup history at the time with his two goals. Cameroon made history as the first African team to reach the World Cup quarter-finals. Higuita’s costly mistake on Milla’s second goal became one of the tournament’s defining moments.
