This article will provide some information regarding the most decorated player for that match and how fans in Algeria can bet on these events with Linebet.
How Algeria drew with Niger (0-0) and qualified for the CHAN 2024 quarterfinals
Before the match, Algeria was already seated at the top of the table in Group C, while Niger was at the bottom. So, there was no way The Mena was going to qualify for the next round regardless of their results in this event. However, the Greens only needed one more point and they were in, and since the game ended in a draw, they got their wish.
Match details
The Nigerien-Algeria match took place at the Nyayo National Stadium in Algeria. For this game, the Greens were already sure of advancement and the Mena were on their way out. Nevertheless, both teams came prepared for a tough game. The Algerians didn’t want to leave anything to chance and the Nigerien team, who had nothing to lose, just wanted to do their best.
During the game, the Greens dominated the forecourt but couldn’t find the net. They exerted a lot of pressure on the opposition, all to no avail. In the end, the first half ended 0-0 and both teams returned to the locker room.
The second half came around and the Algerians were back on the offensive. By the 68th minute there were no results and this made coach Majid Bougherra bring on two attacking substitutes. Abdenour Belhocini arrived to replace Lahlou Akhrib, while Aimen Mahious came in to replace Soufiane Bayazid.
Despite the substitutions, there weren’t any major changes in the overall situation on the field. The Nigeriens weren’t giving their opponents any chances, and midfielder Ibrahim Djingarey got sent off in the 77th minute for this reason. He had already received a yellow card three minutes into the second half and the second one turned into a red.
Even with one more player than the opposition, the Greens were not having it any easier, as the Mena were determined not to let them score. Defender Adamou Djibo also received a yellow card for an aggressive defense during stoppage time for this.
In the end, the game ended 0-0. The Algerians got to advance to the next round and the Nigeriens were on their way home.
Best player of the match
The man of this match is Naoufel Khacef, an Algerian national who was born on 27th October 1997 in Kouba, Algeria. Khacef is a defender for the Algerian national team and wears the number 24 when playing for his club, CR Belouizdad. This professional footballer started his youth career at 17 at the USM Blida football club in Algeria.
Before long he moved on to USM Alger before entering NA Hussein Dey. He played for this professional club for four years and scored five goals while he was there. His next movement was into the international market, where he settled into the Portuguese club Tondela with a 185,000 euro transfer fee. He marked 67 appearances with them before moving on to Gaziantep, where he only stayed a year before entering his current club.
For the Nigerien-Algerian match, Khacef was vital to the defense, as he prevented the opponents from getting anywhere near the goal.
Future opponent
Having moved ahead, the Algerians will be facing the winners of Group D, Senegal and Sudan. Sudan and Senegal stand at the top of Group D with five points each, and they will be going against each other. The winner of the match will eventually play against Algeria in the quarter finals to decide which team gets to advance.
This game will be held at the Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar City. Looking at the head-to-head results in the past years, matches between both teams have always ended 0-0 or with Senegal winning with a narrow lead. Of course, there’s no certainty that this time will also follow this prediction. Nevertheless, regardless of which team advances, the Greens should be prepared for a tough challenge.
