00:00Here we go, the Algerians immediately looking to keep possession.

00:19And here's Amoura coming in for his first start of course today.

00:23It's gone down there, it sounded as though the referee is giving a free kick for the tackle on Aouar.

00:44Sivani's long ball forward, that's a better weighted pass from the centre-back and that's

00:48brilliantly done by Amine Gouiri and the referee has pointed to the spot.

00:58It's Ben Sivani against Barcala

01:04and Ben Sivani coolly finds the bottom corner and Algeria have taken an early lead here in Togo.

01:12It's their centre-back who has put away the penalty which was cleverly won by Amine Gouiri

01:26and as it stands the two-time African champions are heading for the tournament proper next.

01:37I think this would be direct at goal from Até and it's a low one

01:41and he's spilled onto his own crossbar by Gwendoos and finally hacked to safety.

01:54Até clips it in

02:01a good header away

02:02and that was a poor touch by Romao.

02:14Até looks to be lining up another long throw-in.

02:23It's fallen nicely, another block in there by Algeria. Stronger appeals for a penalty this time.

02:32Try and charge forward and the ball's broken kindly here again. There's the shot it's blocked

02:37once more. Algeria really rocking here.

02:45Romao, good run forward by Romao and they're in and it's a really good stop from Gwendoos

02:52and it's out for a throw. Togo getting closer and closer to a level up. It was fantastic play

02:59by Alexis Romao. In goes the cross, there's a header straight at Gwendoos.

03:10Zerouki played it behind really well here for Mandi. Benzier clips it in and it's

03:18a mishit finish from the arriving Amoura. Até is there. Doesn't look as though it's going to

03:26be him to take this one though. There's the strike, it's not that far wide.

03:35Togo have space here. Passing behind is a good one and Denki once again tried to chip the ball

03:45over Alexis Gwendoos and they have been pretty much since they fell behind.

03:51Good delivery, there's the header and it's wide from Denki.

03:59There's a long way shot. Oh it's a fantastic strike as well from Boudaoui.

04:06There is the halftime whistle. It's been an entertaining first 45 minutes. Both these teams

04:14have had plenty of opportunities. Togo will be regretting their profligacy in front of goal,

04:26especially key striker Kevan Denki of Africa Cup of Nations qualifying a few days later.

04:34For now though they've got 45 minutes to try and turn this one around.

04:44They had plenty of good moments in the opening period. That man there Alexis Gwendoos

04:56has made some crucial stops for Algeria including twice. Benji's ball wasn't the best but it's

05:03worked out nicely and the goalkeeper stayed at home here. It's a big mistake from the keeper

05:09and it's blazed high and wide by Amine Gouiri who was just presented with a golden chance to

05:16double Algeria's advantage. Looking for that long ball again and this time it's been charged down

05:22by Derman. Plays it in early towards Denki. Goalkeeper's lost it. He's fortunate it doesn't break.

05:30Bastling away. Over there is Azeangbe. He's done brilliantly. In goes the cross. There's another

05:38chance for Denki. Togo and they've won it back high up this time. It's Cliché

05:48trying to work the angle for the shot.

05:51Couldn't get it on target. It's been pretty much plain sailing in this group so far for

05:57Algeria but it hasn't been today and Togo are coming forward again looking for the leveller.

06:02It's been spilled by Gwendoos but Zerouki. It's been given away. Denki takes it early.

06:12Foiled again by Gwendoos who is furious with his defence.

06:20Mares. It's a great delivery and it's just about dealt with by Amirvour and that's the quality

06:28that Riyad Mares still brings to this Algeria team. It's a fantastic ball in.

06:32There is still time. Romao gets it forward. It's been headed on and that's excellent defending from Boudaoui.

06:43Got back in there really well.

06:47Yet another corner for Togo.

06:50Really good wing play over there and in goes the cross. It's been half cleared and

06:55Boudaoui is there again. Back in there again.

07:04It's been a really good cross by Boudaoui and it's been a really good cross by Riyad Mares as well.

07:12Still alive here for Togo and they've got him behind here have they?

07:20Back into the middle it goes. Bombers up there and he wants a penalty.

07:24Hands look to be on the back but the referees waving the appeals away.

07:36Still alive here for Togo and they've got him behind here have they?

07:43I think it was bomber in there. Denki there as well.

07:49Kicked forward by Boudaoui and now here they come and here's the chance for two.

07:55Still hasn't gone in and that will be offside against

08:01Adam Zorgan.

08:06The man trying to create an angle for the cross. It's a good cross as well

08:11and headed over the crossbar by Kevan Bommer. That was a good chance. Maybe it was just behind him

08:20and he sends it miles wide but they've got the bonus of a corner here.

08:26Excellent defensive header

08:30and it goes once more and the header is saved once more by Gwendouz. It's another stop. What a

08:41game he's having. All of the power himself and it was sent towards the corner.

08:47It's an excellent stop from the keeper.

08:56The way the last few minutes have played out though you think there's going to be

08:58four more minutes of a barrage coming. Gwendouz gets a booking.

09:02Plaka got to get it out wide here. Togo. Two minutes of added time remaining.

09:12In goes the cross from Ate. Bombers up there. Oh and it's saved again

09:19by Gwendouz. Three even but it looks as though as Algeria have held on and indeed they have.

09:27It's finished 1-0. Rami Benzibaini's first half penalty the only goal. Undoubtedly the hero of the day.
