00:00And the fans, not the case in five other groups though, as we are underway for Algeria against Libya.
00:19Algeria, attacking from left to right on your screen.
00:30Teo with the ball in and across it comes and a superb goal.
00:38What a volley, a phenomenal volley for Liberia for a shock lead from Samson Ndweye.
00:44Samson Ndweye gives Liberia the lead from a free kick on the left hand side which in itself was questionable in many people's eyes.
00:53But Samson Ndweye from Victoria Pleasant in Czechoslovakia.
00:57Here the lead at this brand new stadium in Algeria and it was a super volley.
01:04It gave Gwendo's absolutely no chance at all.
01:08It was a scuffed cross back across the box really from his colleague.
01:14But Samson Ndweye made absolutely no mistake despite the untidy nature of Daniel Torres.
01:24And there is the equaliser and it's oh so simple.
01:31Abdoulaye Koulibaly is protesting, the Liberian players are protesting but the Algerian fans are celebrating.
01:41The scoreboard says 1-1 and there's no VAR.
01:51It's going to be the man credited with that goal.
01:56And really Liberia have nobody to blame but themselves.
02:01They weren't concentrating, the free kick was taken quickly.
02:05And Isamandy takes advantage, it was good quick thinking actually.
02:14508, 520, Thomas Kojo with just 10.
02:21Here's Algeria again with two men in the middle.
02:24And here's Mahrez for a second goal and that was all too easy.
02:28Riyad Mahrez at the back post.
02:32Too easy for Algeria and they're just too good for Liberia.
02:36That first goal for Liberia was a real shock.
02:41And it's away from the interval.
02:44And there are two men free in the box and Mahrez makes no mistake.
02:47Back stick.
02:50Put right on his head by Gouri.
02:54And there was just I'm afraid nothing that Sebastian Teclar, Sebastien Teclar could do.
03:02And it's everything for the first 45 minutes.
03:06And it's everything for the first 45 minutes.
03:08Algeria is taking the lead 2-1.
03:11Even when they started losing 1-0,
03:14they found a way to turn around the situation and take the lead for the halftime.
03:19Let's go to the halftime show in a couple minutes.
03:25Algeria is winning 2-1 against Liberia on men's points.
03:35Off we go again then.
03:37And for this half with no substitutions made at halftime.
03:42Algeria in the green attacking from right to left.
03:46And Liberia on the ball now from left to right.
03:50That's Mark Pabai.
03:54Just getting the ball forward.
03:57Frustration for the coach and teammates.
03:59And there is a chance to go 3-1 up for Algeria.
04:02Not taken again by Benedja.
04:04And that's it. That must be Benedja this time.
04:06Yes, he does get it in. He scrambles it through.
04:09That is the fourth chance by my reckoning that Benedja has had.
04:16But the referee sees nothing wrong with it.
04:18It was scrappy.
04:21But there was nothing going on in the box
04:24that has led the referee to call the ball back in any way.
04:27The referee's assistants have kept their flags down.
04:31And that means they are now 3-1 down.
04:35Having not looked very dangerous in terms of attack at all.
04:38Benedja there had one chance and headed it across.
04:42Then the ball came in again and it hit the post.
04:44It came back to Benedja and it's scruffy and scrappy as you like.
04:48But when you've had a game like Benedja has had,
04:51I guess that's just what you need.
04:54You just need one to go in however it goes in.
05:01And the crowd are shouting his name.
05:05Guiri hit the post.
05:13In the end it came back to Bune.
05:23The fans will keep singing here in the stadium.
05:26Especially if that goes central, which it does and it's 4-1.
05:31And that is nothing less than Guiri deserves.
05:35Because Guiri, number 11, Amine Guiri,
05:38based here in France, as we've been saying,
05:41has made it 4-1.
05:43And Algeria are now high and dry.
06:01What was the keeper doing there?
06:04Abdoulaye Koulibaly doesn't play his football
06:07at a very high level admittedly.
06:10But he should know better than to be chasing all the way out to the left
06:13on the edge of his area there.
06:15There's nobody there and nothing at all of Algeria.
06:19And the referee now will have a look at his watch
06:22and blow up for full time.
06:24And it's been an engaging contest.
06:27Some super play from both teams.
06:30One final chance for Algeria to make it 5 and they do.
06:33With, I imagine, the very, very last kick of the game.
06:38And it's a substitute, Mohamed Amoura.
06:47I don't think they deserve to end this game and lose it 5-1.
06:52But Koulibaly, stranded in goal,
06:55had no chance at all to stop that.
06:59It's a very good finish from a tight angle.
07:02Koulibaly shouldn't be beaten at the near post like that.
07:05But still, for the second time in this qualifying campaign for Algeria,
07:10they won 5-1 here
07:13in Belguied
07:16at home against Togo.
07:19Three matches ago.
07:25And that is the full time whistle from the referee.
07:29It was the last action.
07:32And the match is over.
07:35What a great result for Algeria.
07:38They have just won and, of course,
07:41they are keeping the lead.
07:44They will be sitting in the top 10
07:47They will be sitting in the top of the group
07:50so they are one step closer to the African Cup of Nations.
07:53Thank you for...
