Riyad Mahrez scored a nice goal while Algeria beat Guinea 3-0 in the African Cup of Nations, the last 16.

The team of Djamel Belmadi, who had not yet conceded a goal in the 2019 final, simplified the work of his opponents in front of a small crowd in Cairo.

Youcef Belaili opened the scoring after 24 minutes of play with a precise finish and Mahrez clinched the victory expertly before DST, Adam Ounas adding luster to the score after a quick counter-attack.

Baghdad Bounedjah missed a golden opportunity to open the scoring after 20 minutes of play, after bringing the center back to the bar after bringing down Adlene Guedioura's center just six meters from goal.

Bounedjah, however, made amends four minutes later, picking up Belaili's pbad and sending the ball home, allowing hope to beat goalkeeper Ibrahim Kone.

Mohamed Camara violently hit Rais M 'bolhi's hands, but Guinea's resistance actually came to an end 57 minutes after Mahrez retreated to join Issiaga Sylla before giving Kone the wrong path.

Substitute Ounas completed the score by scoring home 12 yards from the score, after Youcef Atal had gone down from the right. Algeria will qualify for the quarter-final against Côte d 'Ivoire or Mali.
