The match between Algeria and Austria was a high-intensity encounter marked by tactical resilience and late drama. Algeria dominated possession (65%) and created more chances (12 shots, 5 on target) but struggled to convert opportunities early, allowing Austria to capitalize on counterattacks.

Algeria equalized through Belghali (45’) with a well-timed finish, shifting momentum. The second half saw Austria regain control with Sabitzer’s goal (55’), but Algeria’s persistence paid off as Mahrez equalized again (60’) and later scored a late winner (90+3’).
