The winner in Tunisia 2-0 on June 11, 2021, the Algerian team signed its 27th game without defeat in a row. The Algerians have thus done better than the Ivory Coast Didier Drogba, undefeated in 26 matches between 2010 and 2013.
Algeria has undoubtedly entered the history of African football on June 11, 2021 in Radès. Not because the Algerians impressed during a preparatory match in Tunisia won 2-0 thanks to a half volley from Baghdad Bounedjah (1-0, 19) and a free kick from Riyad Mahrez (2-0, 28). But because the reigning African champions have signed their 27th game in a row without defeat.
In the modern era of continental football, Didier Drogba’s Ivory Coast was the landmark in the matter, with 26 games in a row without losing between 2010 and 2013. Of course, it was the coronation of Zambia against the elephants in the final of CAN 2012 in the middle. But no African A-team seemed to have done better in recent decades. Until the crazy series of Fennecs, therefore.
Beat the record for Brazil and Spain
Algeria now in search of the record of absolute invincibility: 35 excursions in a row without defeat. Records held jointly by Brazil and Spain. The selection under the leadership of Djamel Belmadi will try to get closer next September in connection with who qualifies for the WC 2022. The Algerian team will face Djibouti before heading to Burkina Faso, Group A.
