Algeria held by Angola

Algeria was caught by Angola when it entered the CAN despite a good start.

Winner of the CAN twice, Algeria is logically among the favorites and on paper has the weapons to exit Group D made up of Angola, Mauritania and Burkina Faso. In addition, the Algerians were on a good dynamic according to the latest friendly results.

And it was indeed Algeria who opened the scoring in the 19th minute in the match this Monday evening. Receiving an inspired opening from Belaïli, Bounedjah took advantage of a miss from Gaspar to arm a recovery from the right, and beat Neblu. 1-0, the score at half-time, while the Fennecs have been significantly better since the start.

Above in the debates, Algeria was rewarded for its efforts thanks to its two strong men, Bounedjah and Belaïli. Number 9 could have scored a double with a spectacular return, but it was offside. Angola could have come back after half an hour of play, but Fredy was unable to get on target.

In the second half, Angola took advantage of a penalty to get back into the game. Found in the area, Mabululu has his back to goal, and is swept away by Bentaleb. Mabululu transformed for 1-1. That was actually the final score. Algeria for its entry into the running despite a very good start to the match.
