The Desert Foxes completely surpassed the locals at Nelson Mandela Stadium on Monday evening.
Uganda has been the first host of Chan 2024 delayed losing the game. Tanzania defeated Burkina Faso 2-0 last night before Harambee Stars Kenya to follow the stream by blaming DR Congo on Sunday.
How Algeria defeated Uganda
Cranes, however, failed to meet the same standards as Algeria, one of the lovers of the tournament, left nothing.
Captain Ayoub Ghezala scored the first goal in the 36th minute after a corner ball.
Uganda started the second period better while looking for ways to return to the game.
However, they failed to bother Zakaria Bouhalfaya at the Algerian gate, who was the same. The shootouts from Allan Okello, Patrick Kakande and Karim Tambala did not focus on the gate or were cut into.
On the other hand, Abderrahmane Meziane scored in a dangerous place before beating Joel Muthabwa in his immediate area and benefiting Algeria in the 76th minute.
Three minutes later, Soufiane Bayazid completed a good team movement after hitting the bump and stabbing the ball into the empty net.
It was a difficult result for Ugandan believers flooding the stadium. Some of them were heard supporting Algeria towards the end.

“We wanted to win but we struggled, especially in the first period. We couldn’t break their ranks, and when we did, we were a threat – but we left ourselves open. We are still struggling to use our 9 and 10 numbers because we failed to control the link column. He said the confused Byekwaso as he was captured by the Daily Monitor.
“It will be a mental discussion. Even after the match, we started immediately in the dressing room. We can’t go back to run; it’s all up now.”
