With the start of the African Cup, the Algerian national team managed to achieve the full haul of nine points in Group C For the first time since 1990 in Algeria without receiving any goal, the first three points were against Kenya by 2–0 Bounedjah converted from the penalty spot after 34 minutes in Cairo following a clear foul on Youcef Atal. then Riyad Mahrez doubled the advantage with a deflected shot from Ismael Bennacer's cut-back two minutes before half-time, With this goal Mahrez became the first Algerian to score in three consecutive copies 2015, 2017 and 2019.[9] In the second game Algeria face Senegal in a battle for top spot Youcef Belaili blasted home the only goal of the game from the edge of box from Sofiane Feghouli's cross, to clinch a place in the Africa Cup of Nations last 16, Bennacer also won Man of the Match for the second time in a row.[10] In their last game against Tanzania, Belmadi changed the whole squad except M'Bolhi and Bennacer, and despite that they won with three goals.[11] The first goal was scored by Islam Slimani after an assist from Adam Ounas, after which Slimani gave two decisive passes to Ounas the last with the end of the match won Man of the Match.[12]

Algeria continued its rampant performance with a 3–0 win over Guinea in the round of 16, Belaili took the lead after a neat one-two with Bounedjah In the second half, Mahrez added the second goal with a moment of quality, before substitute Ounas tapped in Youcef Atal's low cross from close range.[13] but struggled harder against Ivory Coast, being held 1–1 after 120' before overcame the Ivorians 4–3 in penalty shootout After Serey Dié miss the last kick of Ivory Coast, this game saw the injury of Atal and miss the rest of the games.[14] The Algerians then put up an outstanding performance, beating African powerhouse Nigeria 2–1, with a late minute goal by Mahrez in a free kick spot to reach their first ever final since winning at home at 1990.[15]

Notes
    gollark: What?
    gollark: Of Forge.
    gollark: <@276054445429751808> There is probably a setting somewhere to allow you to not discard stuff. If that fails, use an older version.
    gollark: I am not certain that me and hydronitrogen share a definition of "friendly warning".
    gollark: <@509348730156220427> So you censor messages which go against your Grand Webicity Vision?
