The pair had to be separated by striker
Pierre Webo after clashing in the 90th minute of the one-sided encounter
at the Amazonia Arena. After the match, a furious Cameroon coach Volker
Finke vowed to ascertain the cause of the incident.
"It's clear
we have to find the reasons what's going on because such behaviour is
really disgusting. It won't do, it's impossible," Finke said.
Earlier,
midfielder Alex Song was shown a straight red card for elbowing
Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic in the back. The result means the
'Indomitable Lions' are eliminated from the tournament despite a group
match against Brazil to come.
Cameroon's disastrous campaign
follows a series of off-field controversies that blighted their
preparations for the event. The squad almost refused to board the flight
to Brazil over a pay dispute while their star striker Cameron Eto'o has
faced allegations about his personal life.
Eto'o vowed on
Tuesday to "respond to all accusations" and "reveal names" after the
World Cup. The capitulation against Croatia was Cameroon's sixth
straight World Cup loss.
They have managed just one World Cup
victory -- a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia in 2002 -- since becoming the
first African nation to make the tournament's quarterfinals in 1990.
