After playing 210 minutes without ever being in position to advance beyond Algeria in their playoff, Cameroon is heading to the 2022 World Cup thanks to what has to be one of the latest qualification-clinching goals in history.
Cameroon lost their home leg 1-0 last week, but managed to get the match to overtime thanks to a 1-0 win during regulation of the Algeria leg on Tuesday. Algeria dominated the extra time period and pulled ahead with a goal in the 118th minute, which seemed enough to put them through.
But in the 4th minute of overtime stoppage time, Cameroon got a goal from Karl Toko Ekambi off a throw-in that shocked the Algerian players, coaches, fans and even the ESPN announcer.
