Above in the debates, Algeria was rewarded for its efforts thanks to its two strong men, Bounedjah and Belaïli. Number 9 could have scored a double with a spectacular return, but it was offside. Angola could have come back after half an hour of play, but Fredy was unable to get on target.

In the second half, Angola took advantage of a penalty to get back into the game. Found in the area, Mabululu has his back to goal, and is swept away by Bentaleb. Mabululu transformed for 1-1. That was actually the final score. Algeria for its entry into the running despite a very good start to the match.
