Almost a formality.

Algeria strolled on Tuesday January 31 during their CHAN-2023 semi-final and won 5-0 against an overwhelmed Niger. 

In front of the 40,000 supporters present in the Miloud Hadefi stadium in Oran, the Fennecs do honor to their public.

They take control of the match, imposing a quiet and not very incisive dominance.

In line with its other matches, Niger hopes to turn around and strike at the best time.

Algeria, however, quickly undermined the Mena's projects.

On a corner, Djibo completely misses his exit.

On the rebound, Abdellaoui catapults the ball into the Nigerian net despite a desperate hand from a defender.

The central defender of the Fennecs is the first to score a goal in Niger in this tournament (15, 1-0).

Dubbed the inevitable Mahious

The Mena is feverish and Algeria is trying to take advantage of it.

The break points multiply but it is finally the inevitable Mahious finds the fault.

Picking up a ball in depth, the top scorer of this CHAN scored a superb half-volley, his 4th achievement in the tournament (23rd, 2-0).

The fifth does not take long (33rd, 3-0) while Katakore completes the debacle by deceiving his own goalkeeper on a corner (45th, 4-0).

HALF TIME!
