FIFA World Cup 2018: Top 5 upsets in World Cup history

#4 1990 World Cup Group stage match: Cameroon 1-0 Argentina

Forward Francois Omam-Biyick from Camero scored the only goal of the match

The number 4 in our list of "World Cup upsets" is Cameroon’s 1-0 win against the then reigning World Champions, Argentina. Unlike the three previous ones listed, this result didn’t turn out to be critical for the aggrieved party (Argentina in this case) in terms of their pursuit of the coveted World Cup trophy.

But it was an upset by all means as nobody gave a chance to the African side against the mighty Albiceleste, led by a diminutive magician called Diego Maradona.

It was their opening game. Francois Omam-Biyick from Cameroon scored the only goal of the match to give the South Americans the shock of their life.

The loss was a much-needed trigger for Maradona’s side as they shifted gear and made it to the final, eventually losing to West Germany in Rome.
