Algeria arrive in the AFCON 2025 round of 16 with confidence after delivering a flawless group-stage campaign in Morocco. The Desert Warriors swept aside Sudan, Burkina Faso and Equatorial Guinea, scoring eight goals and conceding just once to finish as one of only two teams, alongside Nigeria, to win all three group matches.
Their dominance was underlined by a 3-1 victory over Equatorial Guinea that saw Algeria finish the AFCON group stage unbeaten, confirming both their attacking depth and defensive control, as Softfootball reported.
Vladimir Petkovic's side also showed resilience earlier in the group with a narrow win over Burkina Faso that proved decisive in securing qualification for the AFCON 2025 knockout stage .
