According to L'Équipe, the video series “Drame” is now online, revisiting the brutal eliminations suffered by Italy, Algeria and Egypt in the 2022 World Cup play-offs.
The Cameroonian Karl Toko-Ekambi scored at the very last second of extra time, denying Algeria a World Cup they had long awaited.
The Macedonian Trajkovski found the net to leave Italy, then reigning European champions, in deep distress.
A penalty shootout consigned Mohamed Salah’s Egypt to watching the tournament on television.
Across three episodes of around 15 minutes, Drame uses journalists’ testimony and footage from those decisive nights to tell three play-off stories that went badly, very badly.
