Afcon 2019: ‘They will see this game as payback time’ – Agali expects motivated Algeria vs. Nigeria

Algeria will be motivated by revenge when they face Nigeria in Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations semi-final in Cairo, according to Victor Agali.

The Super Eagles spanked Djamel Belmadi’s men 3-1 in the first leg, third round of Caf’s 2018 Fifa World Cup qualification before seeing out a 1-1 draw in Constantine.

This semi-final will be the ninth time these countries meet in Afcon finals history, with the results perfectly balanced (three wins for each side and two draws).

And Agali believes Algeria will go into this showdown with a drive to succeed due to a desire for revenge.
