Algeria deserves victory over Mali, says coach Keshi

Mali's coach Stephen Keshi said Algeria deserved Thursday’s victory against his team due to their good level in the match.

• “The Algerian players were better than us. They could make the difference against my elements who did not play as usual,” Keshi said.

• “We know that our changes are now reduced. The next match will be very difficult for us but we do not have any other choice. The only solution is to defend our chances until the last minute. We hope to qualify,” he added.
