Will Algeria relive the nightmare scenario of 2022? The edition had in any case started with a draw before ending in an early elimination from the groups. After their draw against Angola (1-1), the Fennecs are obliged to return to victory.

What happened yesterday
Cape Verde first qualified: The Blue Sharks won their ticket to the round of 16 on Friday afternoon after their victory (3-0) against Mozambique, thanks in particular to a masterful free kick from Bebé, taken from more than 40 meters away.
Senegal as champion: the duel between the Indomitable Lions and the Tarenga Lions was won by the latter (3-1), also allowing them to validate their ticket for the future. Cameroon will have to work hard.
Guinea on the right track: in the last match of the day, Guinea won against Gambia (1-0) thanks to a goal from Aguibou Camara. A success which gives the Guineans a serious option for the round of 16.
And bref
Looking for the first 0-0 : Thursday, we thought we saw him show up during the first half of Egypt-Ghana… and Mohamed Salah was injured and the match became crazy! Yesterday, Friday, he felt it coming as big as a Syli (elephant) during Guinea-Gambia. But Aguibou Camara ruined everything… In short, we are still waiting for the first goalless draw of this CAN. It seems that the teams passed the word to silence criticism of the African Cup.
The atmosphere in Yamoussoukro: Guineans who came en masse as neighbors. Senegalese supporters singing and dancing for their champion. Cameroonians still present on the continent. The Charles-Konan-Banny stadium in Yamoussoukro has been thrilling our special correspondents since the start of the CAN!
