The Dessert Foxes of Algeria extended their Group E lead with a commanding 5-1 victory over Togo on Thursday evening in a Group E clash of Match Day 3 of the Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers
The resounding victory sees the former African champions extend their lead to an impressive 7 points ahead of Togo who are second on two points from three matches.
It was a one-sided affair in favour of the hosts who comfortably dominated the match, signalling their strong intentions of reclaiming their lost title, as they recorded three straight wins in their quest to secure a ticket to the 2025 edition in Morocco.
Despite taking the early lead through Thibault Klidje in the 11th minute, it was the hosts who eventually emerged victorious thanks to their clinical finishing in front of goal.
A brace by Said Benrahma alongside goals from Houssem Aouer, Amine Gouiri and a last-minute strike by Mohamed Amoura saw the North African giants secure the victory in front of their highly vocal fans.
Group E action will continue on Friday afternoon with an exciting clash between Equatorial Guinea and Liberia at 13h00 GMT.
