Embolo did not celebrate happily after scoring a goal. Instead, he raised his hands and covered his face, as if expressing apology and respect for his birthplace of Cameroon. Embolo simply accepted hugs from his Swiss teammates, who surrounded him.


Embolo was born in Cameroon and lived in Cameroon until he was 5 years old, and then went to France with his mother. Since Embolo's stepfather is Swiss, he also acquired Swiss citizenship. Embolo, who has two nationalities, hesitated when choosing which country to represent in the World Cup, and finally chose Switzerland.
