Second match and second victory for Algeria which, after its success against Senegal and Ivory Coast, won the North Pool of the Africa Silver Cup yesterday, in Toulouse. Algeria must still overcome Zambia, winner of the South, to hope to enter the Gold Cup next season.
Confident after their victory over Senegal last weekend, the teammates of Nasser Benamor confirmed yesterday against Ivory Coast by winning 23 to 13 under the eyes of an already conquered public. In the first half, the game is locked, teams fail to penetrate within 22 meters of their opponent and lack pragmatism. The meter is unlocked thanks to the precision of the two openers, Yoan Saby-Maubesy and Jonathan Lo. But the bodies are suffering and the offensive charge of Côte d'Ivoire is doing a lot of damage in the ranks of Algeria. The exit on stretcher of Mohamed Belguidoum at 31ene was a foretaste of the hecatomb of wounded. Hooker Sofiane Chellat, injured in the head in the first period will not return to the return of the locker room, and number 8, Khaled Kahlouchi will leave for a concussion protocol at the beginning of the second period. Despite seven changes in the second half, Algeria is gaining ground and taking advantage of the faults conceded by Egdar Babou's men. After the essay written by Walid Batchali, the "green and white" take the ascendancy. The last test ends to extinguish Ivory Coast. While the Ivorians approach the 22 meters, the winger Djamel Ouchene intercepts the ball, overflowing a defender and a second, before going straight between the posts. The public exults, it's done, Algeria wins its ticket for the finals of the Africa Silver Cup
An ultimate euphoria that comes to close three days of competition in Toulouse. Algeria will now have to win against Zambia (match on August 25), if it wants to access the top division of African rugby, the Gold Cup in 2019.
