The Fennecs head coach was pleased by his side’s performance against the West Africans as they booked a place in Afcon semi-final
Algeria manager Djamel Belmadi was impressed by his team’s satisfying outing against an organized Ivory Coast in the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) quarter-final on Thursday.
The Desert Foxes defeated the Elephants 4-3 on penalties after playing out to a 1-1 draw following 120 minutes of football at the New Suez Stadium.
At his post-match press-conference, Belmadi praised the doggedness of Ibrahim Kamara’s side which put his players on their toes for the game’s entirety in Suez but believed his side deserved to win the game.
