Reigning Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) champions Algeria’s 3-1 thumping by Ivory Coast in Cameroon yesterday saw them exit the tournament as they finish bottom of Group E with just a point and one goal.

Despite his rather comical howler that gifted Sierra Leone a last-gasp goal to make it 2-all in their second Group E match last Sunday, JDR Stars goalkeeper Ali Sangare still kept his slot in the Ivory Coast XI. It emerged that SA-based keeper lost his father a few hours before his gaffe against Sierra Leone.

What let Benrahma down was that he hardly got support from his teammates whenever he launched attacks. The most trusted player in the Algerian team, Riyad Mahrez, who’s on the books of English Premiership champions Manchester City, had a lacklustre first period. Mahrez would see his spot-kick hit the woodwork in the hour-mark.

The Elephants’ skipper, Serge Aurier, didn’t take Deli’s booking kindly, confronting referee Victor Gomez. The confrontation landed the Ivory Coast skipper in hot water as the SA referee decided to give him his own yellow card as well.

'We arrested 10 of them': Cops swoop on Malamulele police station robbers wanted for alleged crime spree'When thugs enter a police station what message does it [send] to the community?' We are not protected. Criminals stand a high chance to hold the country hostage. Police are not well trained to protect even themselves. 🤷🏾 I remember this robery, ended up in another robery not far from the police station same day with R5's they took from a limpompo police station late last year... It was scary Our country is really destroyed, it will take more than arresting
