Four matches, four victories and qualification for the African Cup of Nations already in their pocket. Algeria continued its perfect run this Monday in these qualifications for CAN 2025. Winners without forcing Togo (1-0) thanks to a penalty converted in the first quarter of an hour of play by former Rennais Ramy Bensebaïni, the Fennecs validate their presence for the final phase in Morocco in December 2025-January 2026.
Already in excellent position after an error-free first leg in Group E made up of Togo but also Equatorial Guinea and Liberia (3 victories, 10 goals scored, 1 conceded), Vladimir Petkovic’s men have never trembled this Monday evening even if Amine Gouri, twice, could have worsened the score to protect his team. Note the very good match of ex-Lyon player Houssem Aouar.
This selection carried by many players who have passed through Ligue 1 will be especially keen to make up for it in Morocco, after two complicated editions of the African Cup of Nations in Cameroon in 2021 then in Ivory Coast in 2024, after their coronation in 2019. Before that, the Fennecs will have two more matches, without stakes therefore, against Equatorial Guinea and Liberia to conclude the qualifications on November 11 and 15.
