It's a premiere day for Luca Zidane. Left on the bench during the previous match against Somalia (3-0 victory), the new goalkeeper of the Algerian selection makes his debut this Tuesday with the Greens, against Uganda, in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
The match is without stakes for the team of Vladimir Petkovic, who already has his ticket for the final phase in the United States. But some players, if they want to be part of the adventure next summer, had better shine on an individual level.
This is obviously the case for Luca Zidane (27), but the meeting started very badly for the Granada goalkeeper, in the Spanish second division. From the 6th minute, Nice's Hicham Boudaoui lost the ball in his own camp. Served by his teammate, Stephen Mukwala, the Simba SC striker in Tanzania, advanced to deceive Luca Zidane (0-1, 7th). A tough start for the son of “Zizou”, who could hardly have done better in this action…
