That was quite a dramatic match for Algeria in Geneva! Despite the tense atmosphere with smoke bombs, projectiles, and even a pitch invasion, Algeria managed to secure a solid 2-1 win over Romania.
Key moments included:
Nabil Bentaleb opening the scoring due to a goalkeeping error by Costel Pantilimon of Manchester City.
Romania’s equalizer by Chipciu.
The winner by Soudani, who continues to impress with his 11th goal in just 21 appearances.
This victory, just four days after beating Armenia 3-1, shows Algeria’s growing confidence heading into the World Cup.
Now, having returned to Algiers, the team is set to depart for Brazil on Saturday. Their first World Cup match will be against Belgium on June 17 — a tough start, but Algeria looks ready to compete.
