Kana-Biyik was sent off in Cameroon's opening game of the 1990 World Cup, a game against Argentina that Cameroon won 1–0. His brother, François Omam-Biyik, scored the goal that defeated the South Americans. Having been suspended for the second match against Romania following his red card in the first, he returned to the team, and picked up yellow cards both in the third group-stage match against the USSR (a heavy defeat, but irrelevant since they were already guaranteed qualification), and the second-round match against Colombia (an extra-time victory): and was thus suspended for a second time in the tournament, for the quarter-final against England - thus becoming the first and so far only player to serve two suspensions in a single World Cup tournament. His son Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik, is also a professional footballer.[2]
