2015 AFRICA CUP QUALIFIERS - GROUP STAGE - 4TH MATCHES - ALGERIA AND CAPE VERDE QUALIFY

AFRICA CUP 2015 QUALIFIERS GROUP B GROUP F

Algeria booked their place with a 3:0 win over visiting Malawi, while Cape Verde edged out Mozambique 1:0 to qualify.

The first goal of Algeria's game in Blida came after just a minute as Porto's Yacine Brahimi fired high into the net after a neat one-two with Islam Slimani on the edge of the area.

Riyad Mahrez, who plays for English Premier League side Leicester City, doubled the lead on the stroke of half-time.

He picked up a superb through ball from Sofiane Feghouli before turning inside a defender and finishing with a low shot.

Mahrez then turned provider as his cross was met by Slimani's head to confirm Algeria's place at the Nations Cup finals.
