Slimani preserves Algerian invincibility

Algeria drew with Egypt this Monday in Al-Ain, United Arab Emirates (1-1).

Undefeated for almost a year and a setback against Sweden in a friendly – ​​except on penalties in the CAN final against Senegal – Algeria almost lost this Monday.

Trailing from the 62nde minute by the Pharaons and a goal from Fathi, the Fennecs were able to respond in added time through Slimani (90e+3), on a good cross from Atal.

Note that the Egyptians have been playing with ten since the 26e minute and the expulsion of Hany.

The starting compositions:
Egypt: El Shenawy – Hany, Gabr, Abdelmoneim, Hamdy – Fathi, Elneny – Salah, Zizo, Trezeguet – Mohamed.
Algeria: Mandrea – Atal, Mandi, Bensebaini, Touba – Mahrez, Feghouli, Zerrouki, Chaïbi – Benrahma, Gouiri.
