FIFA World Cup 2014: Cameroon rally to hold Germany

Germany and France were held to draws while Chelsea duo Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku scored for Belgium

Paris: Germany and France were held to draws while Chelsea duo Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku scored for Belgium in the latest batch of World Cup warm-ups on Sunday.

Fellow Brazil-bound Cameroon came from behind to claim a 2-2 draw against Germany.

All four goals came in an entertaining second-half as Cameroon, coached by German Volker Finke, came within a whisker of a historic first win over Germany.

Down on a rainy Cote d’Azur Franck Ribery started on the bench in France’s 1-1 stalemate with Paraguay.

Substitute Antoine Griezman had appeared to give the French victory when he curled home an 82nd right foot shot before Victor Caceres silenced the partisan crownd in Nice, flicking home an 89th minute equaliser.

USA continued their Cup preparations with a 2-1 triumph over Turkey.

German-born Fabien Johnson made his first strike for the Stars and Stripes an impressive one, combining with US veteran Michael Bradley for a superb 26th-minute goal that gave the United States a 1-0 lead.

Honduras suffered a second deflating defeat in four days on Sunday as they were beaten 4-2 by Israel.
