Riyad Mahrez struck a brace and provided an assist as reigning African champions Algeria beat Colombia 3-0 at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in an international friendly match in Lille, France on Tuesday.
After setting up Baghdad Bounedjah for Algeria’s opener 15 minutes into the match, the Manchester City forward opened his account five minutes later, before striking again 20 minutes into the second half.
Tuesday’s victory was a follow-up to the 1-1 draw with the Democratic Republic of the Congo in another international friendly match at home last Thursday.
