Algeria did not qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup after a heartbreaking ending in their last game. It was a head-to-head against Cameroon to determine who was going to the big event. They won 1-0 away, but in the rematch these teams went to overtime. The Algerians score the go-ahead goal with two minutes left, although the Cameroonians did so in the last play of the aggregate. This may be an ideal opportunity for them to leave that behind since they are the home squad.
Libya were very far from that reality in the qualification. They were a bit unlucky with the draw since they had to play vs Egypt, Gabon, and Angola. In that round the Egyptians were the ones that advanced because only the first place moved on. At least they had a pair of wins along with a tie in six games that showed some level.
