The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) witnessed another intense battle as two-time champions Algeria were held to a 1-1 draw by Angola. Despite taking the lead in the opening 20 minutes through Baghdad Bounedjah, Algeria faced a resilient Angola in the second half.
Algeria, featuring stars from Europe’s top leagues, initially dominated possession, with Bounedjah showcasing his prowess with a spectacular volley. However, Angola began to tip the scales in their favor, earning a penalty that Mabululu converted, leveling the score.
While Algeria rallied for a win, Angola’s solid defense secured them a valuable point. The draw extends Algeria’s winless run in the tournament since their 2019 triumph. The Dessert Warriors will now need to regroup and intensify their efforts against Burkina Faso and Mauritania to avoid a repeat of their 2021 title defense woes. The AFCON drama continues, promising more exhilarating encounters as the tournament progresses.*
