Nabil Bentaleb undoubtedly relished his debut for Algeria, showcasing an impressive performance in his first appearance for the Fennecs. The Tottenham midfielder started in their friendly match against Slovenia, contributing to Algeria’s 2-0 victory.
This victory holds particular significance as it avenges a previous defeat suffered against Slovenia during the 2010 World Cup. Hilal Soudani and Saphir Taider were instrumental in redeeming the Fennecs’ honor in front of their home crowd in Blida.
However, it was a different story for Ghana, who suffered a disappointing 0-1 defeat to Montenegro. Demjanovic capitalized on a penalty conceded by Daniel Opare in the first minute of the match, securing the win for Montenegro.
In other matches, Mauritania and Niger played to a 1-1 draw, while Burkina Faso and Comoros also ended their encounter with a 1-1 scoreline. Mozambique and Angola similarly settled for a 1-1 draw in their match.
