MIDFIELD
Alex Song 3.5
Absolute stupidity from the Barcelona man and can have himself to blame for Cameroon’s capitulation. His red card for a punch on Mario Mandzukic meant his team played the whole second half a man down.
Joel Matip 5
Looked lost in midfield and could not match Croatia’s excellent midfield axis in Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic.
Maxim Choupo-Moting 5
Was lacking defensively and was found wanting during Mandzukic’s headed goal from a corner.
Eyong Enoh 5.5
One of Cameroon’s more solid performers, Enoh did a good job to keep Modric and Rakitic quiet in the opening half, but fell away in the second understandably after Song’s red card left him exposed in the middle.
Benjamin Moukandjo 6
Was largely positive for most of the match, but fell away towards the end. Missed an absolute sitter in the dying stages.
