Algeria 1 - 1 Nigeria

Nigeria and Algeria shared the points as both teams wrapped up their World Cup qualifiers.

The World Cup group stage draw is billed for December 1st

Nigeria scored the first goal at the 62nd minute through John Ogu.

The Super Eagles were looking at leaving Algeria with all three points but controversial decisions by the referee ensured that the Desert Foxes equalized deep in stoppage time.

Yacine Brahimi scored from the spot following another debatable decision to restore parity and save face for his side who went through the qualifiers without a win.

Nigeria will next play Argentina on Tuesday, 14 November 2017 in Russia as the team continues its preparation for the 2018 World Cup.
