The Desert Foxes sealed their place in the next edition of the maximum continental competition after their draw against the men of Zdravko Logarusic
Defending champion Algeria has qualified for the 2022 African Cup of Nations in Cameroon after playing a 2-2 draw against Zimbabwe on Monday.
Montpellier forward Andy Delort opened the scoring in the game before Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez doubled the Desert Foxes’ lead.
Zdravko Logarusic’s men, however, fought from behind to avoid defeat at home with Knowledge Musona reducing the deficit moments before half-time before Prince Dube scored an important tying goal for his team eight minutes before full time.
Mahrez appeared for the duration of the game in his 66th appearance, as the Desert Foxes extended their undefeated streak to 21 games in all competitions.
