Algeria triumph over Lebanon: Lebanon 0-2 Algeria

Ahmed Eltigani

Algeria wins their second game in the tournament after beating Lebanon 2-0 at the Al Janoub Stadium this evening. Algeria remains at the top of Group D with six points, while Lebanon remains at the bottom of the table at zero points as Lebanon now has two losses under their belt.

The game saw no goals for its majority, only a few chances at goal, a few of which were thwarted by Lebanon’s skillful keeper Mostafa Matar. However, the first blow to Lebanon came in the 69th minute when the referee pointed to Lebanon’s penalty spot. Yacine Brahimi took the initiative, ultimately beating the keeper in the one-on-one battle to bring his team up 1-0. The second goal was scored in the 93rd minute to solidify the win for Algeria, which was scored by Tayeb Meziani.

Lebanon’s next fixture will see them face off against Sudan at the Education City Stadium on the 7th of December, while Algeria will have a tough match-up against their African counterparts Egypt on the same day at the Al Janoub Stadium.
