Algeria has made a good start to their TotalEnergies CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) PAMOJA 2024 campaign with a clinical 3-0 victory over Uganda at a packed Nelson Mandela National Stadium in Kampala.
However, Algeria’s goals were scored by Ayoub Ghezala, Abderrahmane Meziane, and Soufiane Bayazid, sealing the win for the North African giants.
The Algeria team was organized; they had composure on the ball, and they were tactically efficient in today’s game, and that left the Uganda Cranes to chase shadows.

Furthermore, today’s win marks Algeria’s third consecutive win over Uganda at CHAN, extending their unbeaten group stage record in the competition to seven matches.
For Uganda, it was a sobering return to familiar struggles, as their hunt for a first-ever knockout appearance at CHAN continues.
A well-delivered corner from Meziane found Ayoub Ghezala at the near post, and the midfielder’s glancing header beat goalkeeper Joel Mutakubwa at his near post to put Algeria ahead.
In the 76th minute, Meziane doubled the advantage with a cool left-footed finish after a clever layoff from Messalla Merbah.
In conclusion, just three minutes later, Bayazid put the result beyond doubt, slotting home from close range after good build-up play by Naoufel Khacef. Additionally, the Cranes now face a daunting task in Group C, with matches against Niger and South Africa to come.
