Algeria 0- 0 Sudan..The Greens disappoint in the first test – Algerian Dialogue

Franny beauty

The “A” national team failed to pass their first test in the process of maintaining the title, when it fell into the trap of a goalless draw against the Sudanese national team, at the opening of the fourth group matches of the “FIFA” Arab Cup Qatar 2025, which took place at Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium in the city of Al-Rayyan.

A strong start for the “Greens” without being materialized

The beginning of the confrontation was strong on the part of the national team, which threw all its weight in order to score the first goal, which they almost achieved in the 3rd minute when Boulbena ran from the middle of the field to pass the ball towards Khasif, who tried to penetrate into the area of ​​​​operations, but the Sudanese defense thwarted his attempt. In the 9th minute, a good opportunity to score appeared after Sufyan Ben Dabke found himself in front of the goal, but his header was not focused and passed sideways.

Bulbinah and Berkan waste what is not lost

After that, play was concentrated in the middle of the field, until the 25th minute, when a good opportunity arose for Adel Boulbena, who found himself face to face with the Sudanese goalkeeper, but he hesitated to shoot, before the defender scrambled the ball to the corner. Then another opportunity arose for his colleague Berkan a minute later, as he took advantage of a magical pass from Ben Dabkeh. He found himself in front of the goal, but his shot was controlled by the Sudanese goalkeeper.

In the 43rd minute, Algerian striker Adel Boulbena almost reached the net, when he penetrated into the operations area, dodged a defender, and shot a strong ball, but the Sudanese national team goalkeeper, Munjed El Nil, got in front of him and blocked his ball with the fist of his hand, missing the opportunity to open the scoring for the “Greens”, who found great difficulties in front of the Sudanese defense, which was desperate to defend its goal, until the end of the first half in a goalless draw.

“The Jedi Falcons” were close to scoring twice

The beginning of the second half was the same as before, as the “Greens” tried to reach the net, and launched several attacks, one of which almost succeeded, in the 63rd minute, when a free kick appeared to Adel Boulbena, who shot a strong ball that was heading towards the net, but the defender stopped it with his head. After that, Bougherra made two substitutions, with Atal and Slimani entering the place of Ben Zia and Berkane, but the result almost backfired after the Sudan striker almost reached Shaal’s net. After he shot a ball that passed sideways by centimeters and hit the outer net, then another dangerous opportunity arose for Sudanese striker Abdel Larrahman, who shot a powerful ball in the 74th minute, but goalkeeper Shaal miraculously saved it.

The changes did not bring anything new

Although the national voter made several changes with the entry of Soleimani and Atal, and the inclusion of Amir Saoud Darawi, the team was unable to create opportunities to score, and it became clear that they had accepted the status quo, which was to achieve a draw, which is the result the match ended with, where the “Greens” faltered in their first meeting.
