ALGERIA – SIERRA LEONE. After a failed first half, the Algerians have many opportunities against Sierra Leone.
15:49 – A Kamara stop to conclude the meeting
It’s over ! What a feat of Sierra Leone and especially of its guardian, Nbalie Kamara. He made eight saves during this Algeria-Sierra Leone. The Fennecs completely missed their first half. The second period for the Greens was more convincing but Djamel Belmadi’s players lacked precision against goal.
15:46 – Algeria only has three minutes left to score
We are entering additional time for this Algeria – Sierra Leone. For now, John Keister’s players are holding on!
15:45 – Sierra Leone no longer leaves its camp
The eleven players of John Keister are folded in their half of the field. The end of the meeting turns to attack-defense. The Sierraléonais are just minutes from a historic feat.
15:43 – Benrahma is missing too!
What a failure of the West Ham striker! Alone at six meters, perfectly served by Atal, Benrahma totally misses his shot. She misses Kamara’s goal, which was beaten.
15:40 – Djamel Belmadi tries everything for everything
The Algerian coach opts for a last very offensive change: Benrahma replaces Belkebla. John Keister also makes a substitution: Kaikai replaces Buya Turay.
15:39 – Mahrez stumbles on Kamara
What a match for the Sierra Leonean goalkeeper! He won again, this time on a shot from Mahrez which took the path of the small net. The keeper is for the moment the hero of this Algeria – Sierra Leone.
15:37 – Bendebka is harvesting a good balloon
Perfectly launched in depth, Bendebka slightly misses his control, which allows his vis-à-vis to replace himself and recover the ball.
15:36 – Free kick very badly hit by Boulaya
Looks like the attacking midfielder didn’t choose between the strike and the cross. His shot ended in the stands, almost deserted, of Japoma Stadium.
15:25 – Bendebka does not fit!
Bendebka misses his shot, up close, after a good cross from Belaïli blocked by Kamara. Another very big opportunity for Algeria!
15:22 – Triple change for Algeria
Djamel Belmadi has chosen to make three changes at the same time. Slimani is replaced by Bounedjah, Feghouli by Boulaya and Brahimi by Bendebka.
15:20 – Dangerous Bensebaïni on a center-shot
The shot from the Mönchengladbach player passed very close to Kamara’s crossbar. Algerians are more and more dangerous.
15:14 – Good overflow of Feghouli
Launched by Mahrez in depth, Feghouli sees his center blocked by Caulker. The corner gives nothing. The Algerians are much better at the start of the second half.
15:09 – The spectacular stop of Nbalie Kamara!
The Sierra Leonean goalkeeper won in two stages on a point blank shot from Brahimi, who had beaten Kakay and Bangura. This is the biggest opportunity of the meeting.
15:08 – Brahimi can’t knock
The former Stade Rennes and FC Porto player continues a series of dribbles in the penalty area. But his strike is countered by John Kamara. This is an opportunity to tell you that four Sierra Leonean players are called Kamara, including the goalkeeper.
