Mahrez double as Algeria crush Niger, extend unbeaten run to 30 games - Punch Newspapers

FILE: Algeria's forward Riyad Mahrez celebrates after scoring a goal during the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Round of 16 football match between Algeria and Guinea at the 30 June Stadium in the Egyptian capital Cairo on July 7, 2019. Riyad Mahrez celebrated being included on Friday among 30 Ballon d’Or nominees by scoring twice as he captained Algeria to a 6-1 thrashing of Niger in World Cup qualifying.

After Sofiane Feghouli doubled the lead two minutes into the second half, Manchester City winger and former African Footballer of the Year Mahrez scored from a penalty on the hour for a 3-1 lead. Mahrez and Liverpool star Mohamed Salah are the two Africans vying for the Ballon d’Or, which honours the best footballer in the world after a poll among national team coaches and captains and journalists.

The Blida blitz stretched to 30 matches the unbeaten run of Algeria, who last lost in October 2018 away to Benin in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
