Algeria celebrated its third victory in the third game at the 35th edition of the Africa Cup of Football in Morocco.
Promotion to the knockout rounds and first place in Group E were already certain for the 1990 and 2019 African champions before the clear 3-1 (3-0) against Equatorial Guinea on New Year’s Eve. Zineddine Belaid (19th), Fares Chaibi (25th) and Ibrahim Maza (32nd) scored for Austria’s World Cup opponents.
