Algeria Women defeated DR Congo Women 3-0 in the Africa Cup on August 27th, 2026. The hosts claimed victory at home, moving further clear in the standings. By then, Algeria had already accumulated six points from three matches.
The result sees Algeria maintain their position in second place, while DR Congo remain in third. To be fair, both sides had played an equal number of games before this encounter. The Algerians now hold a three-point advantage over their opponents.
Algeria's recent form showed some inconsistency before this win. They had suffered three consecutive defeats against Turkey, Greece and Kosovo, followed by a loss to Rwanda. But they bounced back with a 3-0 victory over Burundi the day before. And here's the thing — this latest result adds structure to that patchy run.
DR Congo's campaign has been equally unpredictable. After beating Burundi 3-0 on August 25th, they fell 0-3 to Rwanda the following day. Their record of one win from three games leaves them three points behind Algeria. The visitors will need to find consistency if they want to close the gap.
The victory extends Algeria's unbeaten run in the competition to two matches. DR Congo's two defeats mean they face an uphill battle for points. The table now shows Algeria with double the points of their opponents.
