Unbelievable: Benfica deal off, Amoura misses sitter (video) | OneFootball

Algeria drew 0-0 against Guinea. In a match counting for the eighth round of the 2026 World Cup qualification phase, Mohamed Amoura, a target for Benfica in the summer, had an unbelievable miss that went viral on social media.

Just 14 minutes in, the Wolfsburg forward took advantage of a counterattack and covered several meters with the ball under control. However, at a crucial moment in front of Moussa Camara, he ended up shooting wide of the goal, when everything suggested the play would open the scoring.

With this draw, Algeria, with Mohamed Amoura and company, remains in first place in group G of the African qualification, with 19 points. Uganda and Mozambique (15), Guinea (11), Botswana (nine), and Somalia (one) complete the standings.

It's worth remembering that the forward had a trip 'booked' to Lisbon, but ended up not joining Benfica. The transfer fee for the Algerian was instead directed towards signing Georgiy Sudakov from Shakhtar Donetsk.

In 2024/25, wearing the Wolfsburg jersey, Mohamed Amoura - currently valued at 32 million euros - played a total of 34 matches. In total, during the 2,729 minutes he was on the pitch, the 25-year-old Algerian international scored 10 goals and made nine assists.
