At the end of the night, Algeria thought they had won their ticket for the World Cup with this goal from the head of Ahmed Toula (118th) but the Cameroonians, who did not want to taste the Algerian sauce, scored a goal on the final action of the match thanks to the Lyonnais, Karl Toko Ekambi. Inevitably the disappointment is huge for a whole people who placed a lot of hope in their national team. AC Milan midfielder Ismaël Bennacer understands the frustration: “My Algerian brothers and sisters, football is a magical sport, but sometimes cruel and unfair. Like many, I am devastated following yesterday’s defeat. But one thing is certain, I am and will always remain proud to fight for you. »
On Twitter, the young midfielder wished to thank the fans, always fully behind the team, then preferring to look forward and forget this failure: “thank you for your support in good times and bad. In all circumstances, you make us even more proud to represent Algeria. This defeat hurts and will be difficult to forget, but we will have to turn the page, raise our heads and think about the next deadlines. Let’s stay united and welded, better days are coming and our colors will shine again. We will do everything to give you the happiness you deserve. We won together, we fell together, and we will rise together.”
