After the fourth African team played at the on going World Cup, Africa is yet to score a goal, not to talk of winning a match.
It was Breel Embolo that scored against his country of birth as Switzerland grab all three points ahead of their tough second match with Brazil.
Embolo was taken to Switzerland when he was six and was granted citizenship in 2014.
Cameroon lost despite putting up a spirited performance and will have a hard nut to crack in order to qualify as they will have to win against Serbia and Brazil.
