Goals from Aïssa Mandi & Youcef Belaïli ensured that Algeria started their 2024 African Cup of Nations qualification campaign with a 2-0 win over Uganda on Saturday evening. Algeria, the champions of the 2019 edition of the tournament were sensationally dumped out in the group stages of the 2021 tournament in Cameroon, and were looking for a strong start with pressure reportedly on coach Djamel Belmadi. Les Verts made a dream start just before the half-hour mark with the contest's opening goal. Youcef Belaïli picked out Islam Slimani at the back post, his looping header was eventually turned in from close range by Villarreal defender Mandi. Uganda did have some chances and could have easily found parity just five minutes later from the penalty spot. Farouk Miya stepped up for the visitors but saw his tame effort saved by the outstretched boot of keeper Moustapha Zeghba. Deep into the second half, Algeria secured all three points thanks to a moment of magic from Youcef Belaïli.
