After Ghana, Senegal, Tunisia and Morocco, Cameroon has grabbed the last qualifying ticket for the 2022 World Cup in the Africa zone! Five days after their home defeat (0-1), the Cameroonians beat Algeria (2-1, ap) on Tuesday and take advantage of the away goal rule, still valid in this competition, to come out on top. winners of this play-off.
In a crazy encounter, the Indomitable Lions got off to a perfect start by opening the scoring thanks to Choupo-Moting (22nd). Then, despite a goal disallowed by the VAR to Slimani, the match was closed until extra time. Then still unhappy with a new achievement denied to the former Lyonnais by the VAR, the Fennecs thought of qualifying on a goal from Touba (118th) … before the response of Toko-Ekambi (120 + 4th) at the end of the suspense ! A totally crazy scenario which therefore propels Cameroon to Qatar.
All under the disgruntled gaze of Algerian coach Djamel Belmadi, inconsolable at the final whistle. Algeria will miss the World Cup for the second time in a row.
