Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Algeria\u2019s football federation (FAF) has requested that the second leg of their 2022 World Cup play-off against Cameroon be replayed amid complaints about refereeing decisions.<\/p>\n

The north Africans were eliminated on away goals after a 2-1 defeat after extra time in Blida on Tuesday, with Cameroon forward Karl Toko Ekambi scoring the winner in the 124th minute.<\/p>\n

An FAF statement said it had lodged an appeal with world governing body Fifa, citing \u201cscandalous arbitration\u201d which \u201cdistorted the result\u201d.<\/p>\n

Algeria striker Islam Slimani had a second-half goal ruled out for offside when the score was 1-0 to Cameroon, and Slimani then had another effort chalked off in the first half of extra time.<\/p>\n

Gambian referee Bakary Gassama initially awarded a goal in the 98th minute, but subsequently disallowed Slimani\u2019s effort for handball after an intervention from the video assistant referee and a check on his pitchside monitor.<\/p>\n

The Desert Foxes did equalise on the night, and go ahead 2-1 on aggregate, through Ahmed Touba\u2019s 118th-minute header, but Toko Ekambi struck deep in added time to level the tie at 2-2 and send the central Africans to Qatar.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe FAF is determined to use all legally permitted means to have its rights restored and to replay the match under conditions guaranteeing the honesty and partiality of the referee,\u201d a statement on the FAF website said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe FAF also requests the opening of an investigation by Fifa bodies to shed light on the arbitration of the Algeria-Cameroon match.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fifa has been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Charaf-Eddine Amara has resigned as president of FAF following Algeria\u2019s exit from World Cup qualifying.<\/p>\n
