2025 AFCON: Algeria strike late in extra time to beat DR Congo
Adil Boulbina 39;s goal deep into extra time was enough to settle a hard-fought encounter against DR Congo, sending Algeria into the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon). Played in down the left by fellow substitute Ramiz Zerrouki, Boulbina outpaced a tired-looking Aaron Wan-Bissaka, cut back inside and unleashed an unstoppable right-footed drive that whipped over goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi and went in off the underside of the bar for the only goal of the game.
