Algeria came from a goal down to beat Niger 2-1 in a Group F qualifying contest of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Desert Warriors looked set to be brought back down to earth after Daniel Sosah put Niger ahead at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers.

But Baghdad Bounedjah 51st minute goal sparkled an impressive turnaround.

Skipper Riyah Mahrez who had hit the post in the 78th minute completed the comeback for the North African side with two minute to normal time.

It was a third straight victory for Algeria in Group F and are now on 9points. They only need a win to secure a place into the 2023 AFCON finals.

In the same group, Uganda Cranes will host Tanzania at Suez Authority Canal Stadium in Ismailia, Egypt today at 5PM.
