Algerian Football Federation Vice President, Bachir Ould Zmirli, says it came as a surprise that the Desert Foxes were awarded a 3-0 win and three points after Fifa took the decison to sanction Nigeria for fielding an ineligible player on the final day of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

''I have just learned that FIFA has awarded us the points of the match in Nigeria, without any reservations,'' Zmirli, who is the
chairman of the National Teams Committee, was quoted as saying by Le Buteur.
''That means that we have not been aware of the offense and that is serious, even if there is no issue since we are eliminated. It's simply mismanagement.
''It is very serious that there is this kind of error. We must punish the perpetrators of this fault and take the necessary measures''.
