Algeria dominated Tunisia this Friday in a friendly match (2-0), thanks to achievements signed by Bounedjah (19th) and Mahrez (28th).
A victory after all symbolic which allows the rest of the African champions to beat the record of continental invincibility hitherto held by Côte d’Ivoire.
With now 27 consecutive games without loss, the Fennecs dethroned the Elephants, who in 2013 had stopped at 26 games without defeat.
Globally, only Brazil (35 matches between 1993 and 1996), Spain (35 between 2007 and 2009), Argentina (31 between 1991 and 1993), Italy (30 between 1935 and 1939) and France (30 between 1994 and 1996) did better in terms of unbeaten streaks.
