Penalty Miss for Mahrez
Riyad Mahrez missed his first penalty since 2018 as Algeria crashed out of the Africa Cup of Nations after a 3-1 loss to Ivory Coast.
The Manchester City ace had a chance to give the defending champions a glimmer of but his effort cannoned back off the base of the post.
AC Milan's Franck Kessie and PSV's Ibrahim Sangare put Ivory Coast 2-0 up by half-time.
And Arsenal's Nicolas Pepe made it 3-0 nine minutes after the break.
But when Youcef Belaïli was brought down in the box on the hour mark, Algeria fans sensed a glimmer of hope.
However, it wasn't to be as Mahrez sent the keeper the wrong way but blasted his left footed effort low and hard into the bottom of the right-hand post.

The actor earlier told Zionfelix in an interview in 2019 that he does not believe that Jesus Christ came to die to save everyone in the whole world from sin. He said that many people in Ghana have allowed themselves to believe theories and mythical stories that have no iota of truth.
