Blida – Karl Toko Ekambi scored in the fourth minute of added time at the end of extra time to give Cameroon a dramatic 2-1 win over Algeria in Blida and a place at the 2022 World Cup.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting put eight-time qualifiers Cameroon ahead in the 22nd minute and they retained the lead until the 118th minute when Ahmed Touba equalised in the second leg of a play-off.
But with Algeria leading 2-1 on aggregate having won the first leg 1-0 last Friday, and seemingly set for Qatar, Toko Ekambi struck.
Yesterday, our Lions showed the world what it means to have a truly Indomitable spirit. The #RoadToQatar2022 was long, but I couldn’t be happier to see Cameroon qualify for the World Cup once again. Congratulations coach @Song_Officiel_4 and the entire team ???? pic.twitter.com/3VUV0Ax8Jp
