No sooner Abdelkader Ghezzal was red carded, the game at Peter Mokaba Stadium changed as Algerians were feeling a lot under pressure with out Ghezzal. In his absence Desert Foxes have not shown any impressive skills to threaten England on Friday despite the fact that losing to England will eliminate them from the competition.
The only goal scored by Salvenia came as an error rather a moment of brilliance. It was a howler from Faouzi Chaouchi. Robert Koren tried a speculative shot from 25 yards
and this time too keeper was unaware of the Newton laws and he failed to gather the ball. Goalkeeper may blame Jbulani for that goal but it was nothing more than bad goalkeeping.
Some fastest changing in and out and Algeria is ready to respond and Belhadj tries to toss the ball into net but Samir Handanovic punches the ball away. Madjid Bougherra also comes in to hook back the ball into goal but fails. We again are escaped from a hair breadth of a Green-esque horror show again.
