The Algerian national team controlled a large part of the match, but was only able to score against goalkeeper Neblo once, despite numerous attempts on goal.
While the Angola national team took advantage of counterattacks to pose a threat to the advanced Algerian defense in search of strengthening the score, threatening goalkeeper Anthony Mandria with more than one dangerous opportunity.
The two teams shared the draw point, awaiting the outcome of the confrontation that will bring together Burkina Faso and Mauritania, which will be held tomorrow, Tuesday.
