Algeria added their name to the list of World Cup qualifiers on Thursday, the fourth African team to book a spot at next year’s finals in North America, after a comfortable 3-0 win over Somalia.
Mohamed Amoura netted twice – taking his goals tally in the qualifying campaign to eight – while captain Riyad Mahrez also scored.
Victory for Algeria advanced them to an unassailable 22 points with one match still to play in Group G.
It will be their fifth World Cup finals appearance but first since Brazil in 2014.
Algeria joins the already qualified Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt.
The top team in each of the nine African groups qualifies automatically for the finals in Canada, Mexico and the US.
