DAY 02
3rd match
Algeria vs Zimbabwe 2:2
Goal Algeria:
Mahrez 12’, 82′
Goal Zimbabwe:
Mahachi 17'
Mushekwi 29' pen.
Riyad Mahrez scored twice as Algeria left it late to earn a 2:2 draw with Zimbabwe at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Leicester winger put his side ahead with a curling shot in off the post.
But Kudakwashe Mahachi's low shot into the corner and a Nyasha Mushekwi penalty made it 2:1 to Zimbabwe - a lead they held until the 82nd minute.
Algeria hit the bar twice before Mahrez levelled with a speculative 25-yard shot that Zimbabwe goalkeeper Tatenda Mukuruva should have saved.
