Algeria record rare win over European opposition

Hilal El Arbi Soudani and Saphir Sliti Taider scored either side of halftime for the north Africans who have been drawn in Group H with Belgium, Russia and South Korea at the finals in Brazil in June.

The opening goal came in stoppage time at the end of the first half. Abdelmoumene Djabou surged down the left and his centre was headed in by Soudani.

Djabou also set up Taider's header 11 minutes into the second half.
