A stoppage-time free-kick from Riyad Mahrez gave Algeria a 2-1 win over Nigeria that puts them in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations

The tournament had been waiting for Riyad Mahrez and in the semi-final he finally arrived. It came down in the end to one shot. A free-kick, perhaps 20 yards out: score it and Algeria were through to their first Cup of Nations final since 1990; miss and they faced extra-time against a Nigeria team who had been improving as the game went on and, at that point, were looking fitter and stronger than their opponents.
