Overview
For both teams it was the first participation in the knockout stages of the FIFA World Cup: Cameroon got there by winning Group B, Colombia instead obtained the qualification as one of the best third-placed teams. The race was decided in extra time; Milla, who came in the 54th minute, went to score after 106 and 109 minutes. In his second goal, Milla took the ball from the goalkeeper Higuita who was trying to dribble him near the halfway line.[1] Redín pulled one back for Colombia after 115 minutes but it wasn't enough, Cameroon became the first African nation to reach the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup.
