The qualifying tournament will resume in August 2017 with Nigeria hosting Cameroon and Zambia at home to Algeria.
After a rather shaky start, the home team took the game to their opponents and they were rewarded after 25 minutes, when the lively Victor Moses was released by his fellow Chelsea mate Mikel Obi to fire past Algeria goalkeeper M’Bolhi.
