“It was a good win. The result reflects the work this group has put in. It wasn’t easy, we were playing away, under pressure but we dominated technically and tactically,” Bougherra said in his post-match presser.
Despite the resounding victory, Bougherra remained grounded claiming that they still have to do in the coming games.
“We still have work to do. Managing the space between our lines is something we’ll improve. Stronger teams will try to exploit that,” he added.
With the win, Algeria who reached the final in the previous CHAN edition, now top Group C with three points and a strong goal difference.
