Riyad Mahrez scored as Algeria secured a routine 2-0 Africa Cup of Nations win against Kenya in Group C on Sunday.
The Manchester City star was a constant threat in Cairo as Algeria started the tournament in impressive fashion.
Having not even made it out of their group in 2017, Algeria took a deserved 34th-minute lead when Baghdad Bounedjah converted from the penalty spot.
Mahrez doubled Algeria's advantage just before half-time with a deflected effort and Djamel Belmadi's men comfortably saw out the second half to seal the three points.
