The match before this [in Egypt] was marred by crowd troubles and home fans throwing rocks at the Algerians. The scare tactics worked cause they walked away from that match as 2-0 victors and forced a playoff half a week later. Last night however, with the match taking place on neutral territory, the crowd would have less influence on the overall outcome so it meant both teams would have to bring their tactics to the field… not difficult if you’re the ‘The Pharaohs’ / reigning African champions. Well that’s what you’d think. Algeria on the other hand, had a plan of it’s own and like drug dealer working the back streets of a conjested North African city, Antar Yahia was on hand to deliver the killer blow that would take his team to the finals next year. Allez les Fennecs!
