Football: The “Fennecs” secure a hefty psychological win by outplaying in a friendly Benin.
Algeria's first goal by Abdelkader Ghazal.

The Algeria national squad have secured a major win on the psychological plan by beating Wednesday evening at the Tchaker stadium of Blida by 2 goals to 1 the team of Benin in a friendly international match as part of the preparation for the 2010 World Cup / Africa Cup of Nations competition.  

  • The “Greens” applied a great pressure on the Benin players  shortly after kick – off and missed by a whisker a goal by talented midfielder Nadir Belhadj in the first minutes of the game.
  •  
  • After the replacement on the right side of Slimane Raho for injury by Rabie Meftah, striker Ghiles also missed a goal after an collective offensive spurt.
  •  
  • The much – awaited first goal for the ‘Fennecs” came at the 36th minute from centre – forward Abdelkader Ghazal after receiving a good ball from defender Bouguerra.
  •  
  • This goal was received with great joy and applause from the thousands of Algerian fans present in the Blida stadium.
  •  
  • Everyone was expecting the players of Benin to strike back, but the Algerians continued to dominate their opponents.
  •  
  • The second Algerian goal was scored at the 43rd minute of the game by striker Kamel Fethi Ghiles who got a beautiful pass from right – winger Bezzaz in the area of the Benin defense which was overwhelmed by the stamina and swiftness of the Algerian strikers.
  •  
  • In the second – half, national coach Rabah Saadane substituted 2 players namely Zarabi and Lazhar Hadj Aissa who replaced Belhadj and Bezzaz with the aim of boosting the Algerian mid – field and giving more stimulus to the offensive line.
  •  
  •  The Algerian players demonstrated great potentialities by literally holding sway nearly throughout the match.
  •  
  • The Benin players were subdued but succeeded, all the same, in scoring a goal at the 87th minute of play.
  •  
  • All in all, the Algeria line – up largely deserved this victory which will surely boost the morale of the Algerian players in expectation of the kick – off of the official competition.
