The Africa Cup of Nations holders were 1-0 down to the world champions thanks to Kerem Demirbay's spectacular maiden international goal early in the second half, when Mabouka caught Emre Can with a high studs-up challenge.
Colombian referee Wilmas Roldan initially brandished a yellow card before VAR was used to reassess the incident.
The punishment was upgraded to a red card on review but Roldan mistakenly showed this to Mabouka's team-mate Sebastien Siani.
Cameroon's players were understandably aghast and protested to Roldan, who eventually sent off Mabouka after being made aware of his mistake following a second look at the video replay.Two minutes after the confusion, Timo Werner headed home to double Germany's advantage to 2-0 and the RB Leipzig striker netted again after Vincent Aboubakar pulled a goal back for the Indomitable Lions in their 3-1 defeat in Sochi.
