Algeria wins
On Sunday, the African Nations Cup has played semi-finals. Senegal extended 1:0 (0:0) to break Tunisia.
Algeria-Nigeria match also seemed to get an extra half an hour, but the excellent Riyadh Mahrez goal determined the victory of the Algerians - 2:1 ( 1:1).
Algeria was leading from 40 min. , a goal made by William Troost-Ekong. Result was equalized at 72 min. from the 11-meter mark by Odion Ighalo. It seemed that the extension would not be avoided again.
However, on the fifth minute (90 + 5 ') added by the judges, Riyadh Mahrezo strikes - and Algeria pulled a dramatic 2:1 victory.

Holy-Molly! I did not realize that so many people got this super excited over the victory of Algeria over Nigeria. I neutral, since I am not much a fan of football. But I do love the sport. You see the fact that this game brings so many people together and make them smile towards each other is a huge benefit and achievements of MANKIND to me. Hmmmm, BRAVO!
