Under immense pressure, Vladimir Petkovic's Algeria delivered a commanding performance against Somalia. From the opening minutes, the Fennecs set the tempo and quickly turned their dominance into a breakthrough. After just six minutes, a pinpoint cross from Riyad Mahrez found Mohamed Amoura at the far post. The Union Saint-Gilloise striker slotted home with a clinical finish, breaking the deadlock and sending the stadium into a frenzy.

Thanks to this ideal start, Algeria is now mathematically qualified for the 2026 World Cup, pending the final whistle. A solid and symbolic performance from a team determined to return to the world stage.
