The Algerians struggled against the 108th FIFA World Team in Douala, Cameroon. In the opening half, the players of Sierra Leone, who are starting the African Championship for the first time since 1996, were even closer to the goal, but Alhaji Kamara narrowly overshot it twice.
After the change of sides, the gold advocates led by Captain Mahriz of Manchester City added, but goalkeeper Mohamed Nbalie Kamara showed some good interventions. Algeria awaits Equatorial Guinea and Ivory Coast in the next matches of the group.
Nigeria in Garoua was awarded the victory by Iheanacho, who hit a successful half-volley in the 30th minute. The Egyptians and star captain Salah did not compete against the bronze medalists from the last championship in 2019. Slavista Olayinka was not even on the bench of the Nigerian selection.
