Algeria absolutely had to win to earn their ticket. Against Egypt, the Algerian U20s were non-existent. Lost 0-2. A new disillusionment that extends an endless drought for the team.
Morocco, however, had already secured qualification. But they wanted to finish first. The Atlas Lion Cubs were overturned by Libya (2-3) in the final minutes. Result: Egypt finishes top of the group.
The Pharaohs thus take first place right under the noses of the Moroccans. For Algeria, the wait continues. The road to the 2027 U20 AFCON ends here.
