Algeria beat Morocco 3:0 in the African Championship on September 25th, 2026. The hosts sit second in the table with three points from two games. Algeria also occupy second place but lead with four points after the same number of matches.
The result means Morocco drop further behind in the standings. They lost 0:3 to Egypt earlier in the tournament and now face another heavy defeat at home. Algeria have won one and lost one in their opening two fixtures.
Morocco's recent form shows inconsistency. They beat Nigeria 3:2 and DRC 3:0 before losing to Tunisia 1:3. The attackers struggled to find the net against Algeria while the visitors were clinical.
Algeria's away record continues to impress. After drawing 2:3 with Nigeria, they bounced back with wins against Kenya 3:1 and Chad 3:0. The defeat to Cameroon 1:3 was an anomaly.
By then it was clear Algeria had the edge in both halves. Morocco looked short of ideas in attack while the visitors cut them open at will. There is unrest in the dressing room after such a comprehensive loss.
The scoreline leaves Morocco with a mountain to climb. They need results against their remaining opponents to stay in contention. Algeria fancy their chances with the deeper squad and confidence on their side.
