This Tuesday, Algeria achievedé the double in the qualifiers for CAN 2025. The Fennecs won brilliantly in Liberia (3-0) thanks to goals by Gouiri, Zorgane and Bounedjah. Liberia 0 : 3 Algeria Live Trap avoided. After an inaugural victory against Equatorial Guinea, Algeria traveled to Liberia this Tuesday evening for the second match of the CAN 2025 qualifiers. On an artificial pitch, the Fennecs took time to find their marks against the Lone Stars, who were very playful and left spaces on the wings. Before the twentieth minute of play, Farsi pushed the ball from the point to Amine Gouiri who deceived Koulibaly on his left (0-1, 17th). Eight minutes later, the Greens are once again on the attack and Zorgane scores a gem. He recovers the leather thirty meters from the goal and sends a heavy and floating shot to leave the opposing goalkeeper far from the ball (0-2, 25th). In the process, the latter gives up his place to Songo who has shown himself clearly. After the break, the Lone Stars came back with better intentions, pushing back the Algerians who have always managed the weak moments. At the start of the last quarter of an hour, Atal and Bounedjah came into play and made the difference three minutes later. On a counterattack, the right piston rolled down his wing and left his opposite number in the wind. The former OGC Nice player unleashed a strike, deflected by Songo who returned to the feet of the attacker who only had to push the ball into the back of the net. With this second victory, Algeria has made a perfect start to its qualifying campaign for the next African Cup of Nations. In a month, the Fennecs will meet again for two new qualifying matches for the CAN 2025. On October 11 and 15, Vladimir Petkovic's players will face Togo in a double confrontation. At the same time, Liberia and Equatorial Guinea will challenge each other. While Algeria was leading 2-0, Vladimir Petkovic launched Atal and Bounedjah at the start of the last quarter of an hour of play. A winning entry since a few minutes later, the right piston rushed down his wing to strike. Songo deflected but Bouendjah pushed the ball into the empty goal. With this great victory in Liberia this Tuesday evening, the Greens take the lead in Group E with 6 pts and a goal difference of +5. With six points taken in two matches, Algeria takes an option for qualification to the final phase of CAN 2025. The contract is fulfilled by the Fennecs! In Liberia, the Algerians achieve 2/2 in this start of the qualifiers for CAN 2025 after a great victory (3-0). After an Algerian recovery, Sayoud crosses back. At the penalty spot, Bounedjah is too short but Atal takes it with his left foot to hit Songo. In the last minutes, the ball goes from one camp to another the other. Last change for Algeria tonight with the exit of Amine Gouiri, replaced by Sayoud. In the Algerian surface, Mandrea does not manage to completely repel the danger, jostled in the air. The referee finally whistles a foul. After his team's third goal, Hadjam gave up his place to Khacef for the end of the match. After a Liberian loss of the ball, Atal was launched into his right wing. He bursts forward and hits Songo with his right foot, who deflects the ball directly to Bounedjah, who pushes the ball into the back of the net. À At the start of the last quarter of an hour of play, Vladimir Petkovic made several changes: Atal, Bounedjah and Kendouci came into play to replace Farsi, Benrahma and Benzia. After another very poorly struck Liberian free kick, Teah combined and tried his luck with his left foot but Mandrea caught it easily. After committing a foul, Zerrouki contests the referee's decision and receives a yellow card. He has nearly a quarter of an hour left to play. À In the 68th minute of play, Teah replaces Chauncy in midfield. On an interesting free kick, Dweh's attempt ends up well above Dweh's goal. For a few minutes, the Fennecs have been on the back foot and are letting the Liberians regain control of the balloon. Alone along the left touchline, Hadjam escapes the opposing pressure thanks to a small bridge followed by a sole pass. What a sequence from the Algerian left piston. After a ride in the center of the field, Sangará strikes with his left foot but the ball comes without power and Mandrea easily grabs it. For this elbow, Peter Wilson gets a yellow card. À in the air fight with Peter Wilson, Tougaï remains on the ground. The defender has been touched in the face by the elbow of the opposing attacker. In the Algerian area, the ball regularly comes back to the Liberians who try to strike but all their attempts are missed. Having just entered the game, Peter Wilson is found in front of the Algerian surface. He controls by pivoting and puts himself on his left foot before triggering but it flies into the stands. The Lone Stars kick off the last 45 minutes. Note the triple change of the locals: Gibson, Kumeh and Wilson replace Ernest, Kenneh and Sackor. READ MORE
