Drama unfolded in Tizi Ouzou on this final day of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. In just the 5th minute, Uganda shocked the Greens by opening the scoring, capitalizing on a failed clearance by Hicham Boudaoui, who had been fouled but saw no whistle from the referee. The Algerian midfielder, logically expecting a free kick, stopped playing—giving the Ugandans a clear path to find the back of the net. This unexpected twist now forces Vladimir Petkovic's side to respond quickly if they want to finish their qualifying campaign with a victory and offer their fans one last moment of joy.
