Algeria Dominate Mozambique In Group G

Algeria were one of the biggest winners during matchday 6 of the CAF 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers this week, after bagging a convincing 5-1 win against Mozambique at the Hocine At Ahmed Stadium on Tuesday night.

Following a period of relentless pressure during the opening exchanges of the match, Algeria took the lead moments after the 7th minute mark. In trying to play out from the back, Mozambique paid for sloppy defending as Mohamed Amoura intercepted a poor pass on the edge of the box before slotting the ball home with ease.

The Desert Warriors doubled their advantage midway through the first-half after making the most of a corner situation. While the ball was cleared toward the edge of the area, Hernni Siluane parried a shot straight into the path of Aissa Mandi, who found the back of the net with a header from close range.

Amoura added Algerias 3rd at the half-hour mark following an incisive move that caught the Mozambique backline off guard. With Riyad Mahrez evading the offside trap and his opposite number, the Algeria talisman picked out Amoura with a slick through ball inside the 18-yard-area before he scored his 2nd goal of the night.

Not sitting back, Mozambique drew one back in the 39th minute as Geny Catamo let off a venomous shot on the edge of the danger zone that left goalkeeper Alexis Guendouz soundly beaten.
