Will the match between Algeria and Cameroon be repeated? .. A German journalist blows up a surprise
German Joshka Barger, a journalist specializing in Algerian football, blew up a heavy-caliber surprise, confirming that a technical error had prevented Algeria from reaching the 2022 World Cup finals.
The Algerian team failed to qualify for the World Cup "Qatar 2022" after losing at home to Cameroon (1-2) in extra time, in the second leg of the African qualifying round for the World Cup, despite winning the first leg with a clean goal.
Algeria netted the first goal in the 22nd minute, scored by Cameroonian striker Eric Maxime Choupo-Moting, at Mustapha Tchaker Stadium, who returned the "untamed lions" to the match after the first leg defeat with a clean goal.
Joshka Barger confirmed to Transfer Market that the video referees did not see the return of the goal due to a technical error, which prevented them from seeing a violation suffered by Issa Mandi, the defender of the Algerian national team.
Barger wrote through his official account on the social networking site "Twitter": "Some sources confirmed to me that the referees did not re-watch the clip due to a technical glitch, and the lack of slow-motion replays."
He added: "Referee Bakari Jasama also did not find a reason to return to the video, and decided to calculate the goal directly without resorting to the mouse technique."
Algeria coach Djamel Belmadi launched a strong attack on Gambian referee Bakary Gassama after the match, saying that he was the reason for that result.
Algeria was seconds away from qualifying for the 2022 World Cup. Algerian Ahmed Touba equalized for his country in the 13th minute of the second extra period, but the Cameroonian, Karl Toko Ekambi, grabbed the second winning goal for his country in the deadly time, at the fourth minute Calculated instead of lost for the match that took place at the "Mustafa Tchaker" stadium in the Algerian city of Blida.
Cameroon outperformed its Algerian counterpart, thanks to the advantage of goals scored away from home, to reach the Qatar World Cup 2022.
The Algerian fans launched a campaign on social media, calling for the rematch of the Algerian national team against its counterpart Cameroon in the second leg of the qualifying match for the World Cup finals in Qatar.
The Algerian national team was subjected to major refereeing errors from the referee of the match, Jasama, who was the hero of the match, to give Cameroon the qualification card to the World Cup at the expense of Algeria, according to the description of the Algerian fans.
And the Algerian fans launched the hashtag: #Algeria_and_Cameroon_match_unjust_Bring_us_back_the_match_Where_is_FIFA_, calling for FIFA to repeat the match between Algeria and Cameroon.
