AFCON Algeria Sent AFCON Warning Showing Superiority Over Ghana In Their Last Friendly

In their capacity test ahead of 2022 AFCON, Ghana lost to Algeria on Wednesday in a pre-AFCON friendly in Doha. The African champions thrashed the West African powerhouse 3-0 as warning for the upcominp AFCON.

Adam Ounas put Algeria ahead in the 8th minute to see the Fennecs take a one-nil halftime lead.

Defender Jonathan Mensah then turned the ball into his own net in the 74th minute on the near left post as he attempted to clear Youcef Atal’s cross that the Nice player swept in from an acute angle.

Veteran Islam Slimani completed the two-time champions good day at the office in the 79th minute when he turned in fellow second half substitute Farid Boulaya’s cross after they came on in the 63rd and 71st minutes respectively.

The result is certainly not what coach Milovan Rajevac needed ahead of their big Group C showdown against Morocco on January 10 at Stade Omnisport in Yaoundé.
