As in the opening win against Sudan (3-0), he didn’t allow a goal. Zinedine Zidane kept his fingers crossed from the stands.
Sudan had previously won 1-0 against Equatorial Guinea, Algeria’s last group opponent. This means that Sudan and Burkina Faso are now on par.
There was a surprise in Group F: Mozambique celebrated their first ever win at an African Championship with a 3-2 win against Gabon. Gabon, with former Bundesliga top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (36), is still without a point.
