Cameroon Coach Hugo Broos hailed Saturday’s 1-1 draw away to Algeria at Mustapha Tchaker Stadium, Blida in 2018 World Cup qualifier as “very good result.”
Benjamin Moukandjo strike at the stroke of half-time cancelled out Algeria’s El Arabi Soudani opener to guarantee the invaluable point for the Indomitable Lions.
“It’s a very good result for us – because we played against one of the best teams in Africa,” the 64-year old Belgian told BBC.
The Desert Warriors ranked 35th globally and second in Africa – 24 places above Cameroon (10th in Africa) boast a galaxy of stars including Riyad Mahrez and Islam Slimani of English Premier League reigning champions Leicester City.
“The next game is in Cameroon against Zambia, so if we win that game we will have a very good start.” He added.
Zambia, seen as the underdogs in group “B” billed as “group of death” stumbled at home – losing 2-1 to Nigeria in Ndola also on Sunday.
