Three Africa Cup of Nations semi-finalists have already been confirmed and the excitement is beginning to build toward a climax
Algeria squeezed into the last four of Afcon after beating Ivory Coast 4-3 on penalties at New Suez Stadium in Egypt on Thursday night.
The match was locked at 1-1 after extra-time. Sofiane Feghouli placed Algeria ahead in the 20th minute, before Jonathan Kodija equalised in the 62nd minute.
Baghdad Bounedjah missed a penalty during regulation time at the beginning of the second-half for Algeria, so he will be relieved this mistake didn’t cost his nation victory.
We take a look at how the continent reacted to Algeria progressing to the last four right here. As one Tweet expressed, Algerians were so excited Twitter itself broke, but nothing could stop Africa hanging on for social media to get back online and then Tweet their feelings on the game.
The scenes in Finsbury Park as #Algeria put out Ivory Coast in Africa Cup of Nations! Traffic stopped, flares, fireworks in the street. And this is only the quarter final.
What a game. The best showing at the tournament so far. Algeria deservedly go through. Best team in the tournament by some distance. Cote D’Ivoire’s best game in the tournament. But Algeria’s far too strong right now. Should go all the way. #AFCON2019
