FIFA President Gianni Infantino has said he is unaware of the Algerian federation’s appeal for a resumption of hostilities between Algeria and Cameroon in the qualifying round for the World Cup “Qatar 2022”.
In a press release issued by the Algerian media, Infantino responded to a question about the possibility of playing the match again due to refereeing errors: “I am not aware of this request,” indicating that the Algerian Federation did not send. A letter to “FIFA” about the competition!
“Algeria played a good match, but unfortunately it was football,” Infantino added.
The Algerian team beat Cameroon 1-0 in the first leg, then lost again 1-2 after an extraordinary circumstance, extending the match to two additional periods at the end of the original time, to give Cameroon a 1-0 lead. As a result of the move, and in the extra two halves Algeria felt a draw, which meant they qualified, but in the last second of second extra time, Cameron struck a blow against the Algerian fans at home and among their fans. The “Desert Warriors” were eliminated from the competition for a place in the World Cup.
Immediately after the match, the Algerian federation said it was requesting the international community to resume the second leg of the match against Cameroon due to “mistakes made” by Gambia referee Bakhari Kassama and affecting the outcome of the match. .
