Afcon 2025: Adil Boulbina Sends Algeria to Quarterfinals ...

Adil Boulbina's 119th-minute goal clinched a 1-0 win for Algeria over DR Congo, advancing them to AFCON quarter-finals after a tightly contested knockout match.

  • On Tuesday in Rabat, Algeria national team defeated DR Congo national team 1-0 after extra time at the Stade Prince Moulay Al Hassan, Rabat, Morocco.
  • The match was scoreless through regular time, as Algeria national team struggled to break down DR Congo national team due to resolute defences and poor final-third decisions.
  • In the 119th minute, Adil Boulbina, 22-year-old substitute, scored from the edge into the top far corner, sparking celebrations from the Moulay El Hassan Stadium crowd.
  • The win returns Algeria national team to the last eight after two group-stage finishes, and they will face the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Marrakesh on January 10.
  • Tactical controversy arose when Algeria coach substituted captain Riyad Mahrez in a move described as risky, while Lionel M'Pasi needed treatment and fans at Moulay El Hassan Stadium lit flares.
