While Hugo Broos’ Bafana exceeded expectations at the AFCON in the Ivory Coast, picking up a bronze medal, Algeria had a dismal tournament, managing just two points and finishing bottom of their group.

But there is still an abundance of overseas-based quality in the Desert Foxes squad. The experienced Baghdad Bounedjah, now based in Qatar, led the line against Bolivia alongside Rennes attacker Amine Gouiri, who scored Algeria’s first goal.
