Afcon 2019: Algeria scored in key moments to down Guinea – Riyad Mahrez

Algerian captain Riyad Mahrez believes his side used their chances well to floor Guinea in the Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday night.

The Manchester City player scored a fine goal as the Desert Foxes beat Guinea 3-0 to reach the last eight of the competition in Egypt.

Youcef Belaili broke the deadlock 24 minutes in with a precise finish and Mahrez made the win safe in expert fashion before the hour mark, with Adam Ounas adding gloss to the scoreline following a swift counter-attack.
