Leading the North Zone of the competition, which also serves as a qualifier for the U-20 AFCON, Morocco currently tops the group.

The intense hunger for victory, however, led both squads to miss opportunities despite Morocco’s strong pressure throughout the game.
Morocco dominated possession but missed several chances to score.
The second half unfolded with Morocco continuing to press and creating more scoring opportunities, which resulted in an equalizer. Subsequent scoring threats by Algeria were neutralized after the Algerians missed a penalty.
