On Sunday, Algeria booked their spot in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals with a convincing 3-0 win over Guinea in Cairo.

Riyad Mahrez scored a stunning goal, expertly controlling the ball past his marker before firing it into the bottom corner.

Manchester City forward Mahrez's goal added to Youcef Belaili's earlier strike, securing a one-sided victory for the Algerians.

Adam Ounas sealed the win with the third goal late in the match.

Algeria will face either Mali or Ivory Coast in the quarter-finals on Thursday.
