This is perhaps the biggest sensation of this first round of CAN 2021. Algeria lost this Sunday against Equatorial Guinea 0-1. A defeat which mortgages the chances of qualification of the Fennecs. They are indeed 4th with only 1 point after two days. Beyond this setback, it is also the end of an incredible series of invincibility. The Algerians remained on 35 matches without defeat.
Algeria had not bitten the dust since October 2018. So more than three years. The Fennecs even had the possibility of breaking the unbeaten record for a national team. This one belongs to Italy which has chained 37 matches without losing between 2018 and 2021.
