France<\/a>.<\/p>\nStriker Ellen White tucked away England’s second during the first half’s injury time – before it was ruled offside by Chinese referee Qin Liang, then overturned using the VAR system.<\/p>\n
This sparked Cameroon players to furiously claim Nikita Parris, who was offside, was part of the play – despite her standing on the left side of the pitch and not touching the ball.<\/p>\n

Insult was added to injury after the break as Cameroon got a swift goal back in the 48th minute through\u00a0Ajara Nchout, who drove home a long cross into the corner.<\/p>\n
But the sloppy play at the back from England was saved by a close call for offside from the VAR team.<\/p>\n
Cameroon protested again, with head coach Alain Djeumfa desperately trying to calm them down. But Nchout, who moments earlier had been celebrating, appeared inconsolable.<\/p>\n
