Algeria took another step towards qualifying for the final round of the 2014 World Cup with a 1-0 victory over Rwanda. The Fennecs now have 12 points, maintaining a 5-point lead over Mali. Mali is set to face Benin later, and Algerian supporters hope for a poor performance from Mali to secure qualification.
Saphir Taider scored the lone goal for Algeria against Amavubi. If Mali wins against Benin, the final match to determine the last round ticket will be played in September between Algeria and Mali in Blida.
