Algeria head coach Vladimir Petkovic praised his team for a professional performance after beating DR Congo 1-0 AET in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations round of 16 on Tuesday.
The Fennecs enjoyed 59 per cent of the possession at the Moulay Hassan Stadium, but they struggled to really threaten the Leopards goal in the first half before creating a few decent chances in the second 45 minutes.
Following 90 minutes of goalless football, the game went to extra time and the crowd looked to be preparing themselves for penalties when Adil Boulbina scored the winning goal in the 119th minute.
