U15 World Cup: The odyssey is coming to an end, but not completely for Algeria!
The Algeria U15 team has been eliminated from the final A bracket by Guinea, but continues to fight for a place of honor.
With an almost perfect run during the group stage, including four wins and one draw, Karim Ziani's players have technically not lost, as their 1/32 final match against Guinea ended in a draw.
At the end of this goalless encounter, it was the Guineans who triumphed in the penalty shootout, winning 4-2. Two Algerian attempts, taken by number 14 and number 5, were saved.
Although they have exited the race for the World Championship title, the Algerians continue their journey in an effort to secure the best possible 17th place among the 189 participants.
As a result, the Greens will face Albania this afternoon at 17:45 (DZ/FR) in a first classification match. If successful, our representatives will meet the winner of the duel between Australia and Lithuania.
