World Cup Q: Algeria stun Cameroon in Douala

World Cup Q: Algeria stun Cameroon in Douala

The indomitable Lions of Cameroon were beaten by Algeria on Friday night in Douala . A 1-0 score sanctioned the game and the lone goal scorer Slimani gets into the record books of Algeria.

The host could immediately feel the absences of Ngamaleu and Zambo as their midfield compartment was not very productive. Less chances created. Aboubakar was isolated upfront as the Indomitable Lions only got the first attempt on target at the 84th minute. Algeria takes a fine advantage into the second leg game slated for next Tuesday the 29th at home. A powerful header beating Andre Onana on his goal line.

While he is the top scorer of the selection (41 goals), Islam Slimani has again delivered his team this Friday. The 33-year-old scored the only goal of the game against Cameroon. A realization that allows the Fennecs to take an option on the qualification to the World Cup 2022. The 33-year-old player also broke a record with this goal. Slimani becomes the best scorer in the history of Algeria in a qualifying match for a major tournament. He now totals 27 counters, against 26 for Abdelhafid Tastaout. The striker also has 10 goals in his last 11 matches with Algeria. 🇩🇿 Islam Slimani (27) becomes Algeria's all-time leading scorer in major tournament qualifying ahead of Abdelhafid Tastaout (26)
