ALGERIA have demanded their clash with Cameroon be replayed after being dumped out of World Cup qualifying, according to reports.
The Desert Warriors went into their pivotal second leg clash with a 1-0 lead, having triumphed in Douala last week.
But things didn't go to plan on home turf.
The 2019 Africa Cup of Nations winners went 1-0 down in the 22nd minute when Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting profited from some poor keeping to bundle the ball home.
Algeria thought they'd levelled on the night in the 98th minute, when Islam Slimani appeared to have headed the ball home.
Video replays showed that the ball struck his arm and the goal was disallowed, much to the home side's disgust.

They DID eventually level, when Ahmed Touba nodded beyond Andre Onana in the 118th minute.

The incident prompted coach Djamel Belmadi to collapse to his knees, his face contorted in sheer agony.
According to outlandish reports in Algerian media, Fifa have agreed to investigate the incident.
