Leicester City players in the AFCON

[Jeff]

A goal for Algeria, 2-1, in stoppage time.

 

[yackandandah]

They've got one back but it's maybe too late.

5 minutes extra time.

 

[Jeff]

Full time 2-1

 

[yackandandah]

Mahrez was notable by his absense. Slimani looked better in the 1st half when he had a bit of service but there was little for him to work with in the 2nd. Sound familiar?

 

[homer]

Both looked completely hopeless. Mahrez was awful

Can't wait to have them back.....

 

[Robin127]

Yup, Algeria looking well beaten. A game of 2 halves.

I think they'll need a win against Senegal to stay in.

Can't see them beating Senegal.

 

[yackandandah]

You'd not be surprised if Senegal put a few past Zimbabwe. Algeria are all but out.

You might be right. Senegal are 2-0 up before 15 mins are played

Ghana beat Mali 1-0 and are through to the quarter finals. Amartey played all 90 minutes, again in central defence.

Algeria are England, they should be getting out of that group.

Hope these pair are suitably remotivated following more failure

 

[Volpone]

Slim scores for Algeria but Tunisia are winning their game so he and Mahrez could be back here for Friday.

Tunisia are 2-0 in front. They have to drop points for Algeria to have a chance to go through.

 

[yackandandah]

Lovely touches from Mahrez. Senegalese fans cheering him!

Algeria are England, they should be getting out of that group.

This is a tough group. Based on FIFA rankings they're the third best team in it. Senegal are the highest ranked African team, and Tunisia fourth, a place above Algeria.

 

[yackandandah]

Senegal's B team have equalised. Algeria will be lucky to end the game with 11 on the pitch, they're being a tad agressive.

Slimani's goal was classic poacher stuff, a tap in inside the 6 yard box. Mahrez is having a good game and, more to the point, trying.

 

[yackandandah]

Slimani gets a second goal. Somewhat messy but it went in. Mahrez assist.

And Senegal equalise a few seconds later!

 

[Blaarev]

Slimani scores again. Assist from Mahrez

 

[Blaarev]

And then Senegal equalize again. 2-2

Slimani scores again. Assist from Mahrez

So is that 3?
