Algeria misses their comeback by one goal against the DRC

Algeria may have regrets. Corrected 4-1 by the DR Congo in the first leg, the Fennecs U23 came very close to turning the tide but they failed by one goal by winning “only” 3-1 this Sunday in Sétif on the occasion from 2^e second round of the CAN under-23 qualifiers.

Author of a double (10^e63^e) and a penalty obtained and converted by Chemseddine Bekkouche (47^e), Islam Belkhir almost put on the hero costume for the Algerians but the CR Belouizdad winger was not enough since Patient Mwamba scored an important goal by reducing the score on the hour mark for the visitors (59^e).

Despite the many adventures encountered, the Congolese, who came close to an air crash in the night from Friday to Saturday, which led to the 24 hour match postponement, therefore earn a heroic qualification. They will play their ticket for the final phase of the CAN U23, qualifying competition for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, in the next round against Ghana.
