Algeria coach Rues 1-1 draw against Cameroon

Algeria head coach Milovan Rajevac urged his players to avoid repeating the same mistakes they made against Cameroon when they confront Nigeria next month after his team played a 1-1 draw against Cameroon at the Stade Mustapha Tchaker in the city of Blida on Sunday.

“We played to win and all the players did their best to achieve the target. We are upset with this result as we failed to win over Cameroon in the beginning of the qualifiers.

“If we replayed the game again I would make some changes in the starting lineup. I have to watch the game again to understand the reason for our dip in form after leading,” he told the media after the match.

The Serbian coach also promised to change the team before their game against Nigeria billed for November 12 at the Akwa Ibom Stadium, Uyo.
