ALGERIA – CAMEROON FOOTBALL. At the end of an incredible end to the match in this play-off return from the 2022 World Cup on Tuesday March 29, the Fennecs were deprived of the next World Cup by Indomitable Lions who won in the last seconds of extra time (2- 1).
00:18 – Djamel Belmadi is inconsolable
The image is heartbreaking. While Cameroonians celebrate qualification for the next 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Algerian coach Djamel Belmadi is prostrate on his knees in his technical area and seems inconsolable.
00:14 – It’s over!
It’s over in Blida! What an incredible ending. While the Fennecs had taken the advantage in this double confrontation thanks to Touba in the 118th minute, the Indomitable Lions regained the advantage and qualified in the last seconds of extra time.
00:12 – Cameroon back in front!
It’s completely insane!! The Cameroonians take the lead thanks to Lyonnais Karl Toko-Ekambi on a set piece. The delivery of Ngadeu in the race of Toko-Ekambi which deceives Mbolhi in the last seconds.

00:07 – Touba scores!
Madness takes hold of the Mustapha-Tchaker stadium in Blida! Touba is alone in the area following a corner from Ghezzal and finally deceives the impassable André Onana! Algeria regains the advantage over both confrontations but a Cameroonian goal would completely change the situation.
00:05 – Rachid Ghezzal’s cross is missed
