Host nation Algeria delivered another statement of intent as they eased past the threat of Mozambique thanks to a narrow 1-0 victory in the sides’ meeting on Saturday. Hocine Dehiri opened the scoring in the seventh minute after which Madjid Bougherra’s men spurned a number of good chances to put the game to bed.
As a result, the Fennec Foxes have now won all of their three CHAN matches without conceding a single goal en route to finishing top of Group A. Next up is the challenge of an opposing outfit with little to choose between the sides, as the last five clashes have yielded two wins apiece and a draw. Aiming to equal their best-ever CHAN finish which saw them reach the last four in 2011, Algeria will back themselves to get the job done in front of their fans once again.
Ivory Coast kick-started their African Nations Championship journey with a convincing 3-1 triumph over the Cranes of Uganda on Sunday evening. Souhalio Haidara’s men flew out of the blocks through goals from Karamoko Sankara and Patrick Ouotro after which Moses Waiswa pulled one back, only for Aubin Kramo to seal the deal in the 78th minute.
That win saw the Elephants rack up four points from their three Group B fixtures, finishing two points adrift of Senegal at the top of the standings. Fresh off the back of ending a four-game winless run across all competitions, Ivory Coast now go in search of back to back victories for the first time since November.
