Algeria, faced a disappointing exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Mauritania.
The team’s performance in Group D was subpar, as they only managed to collect two points from a 1-1 draw against Angola and a 2-2 draw against Burkina Faso.
Algeria, considered among the favourites to win the competition, faced significant backlash from their supporters following the unexpected defeat to the Lions of Chinguetti. The frustration escalated to the point where supporters attacked the team at the hotel.
The decision by Coach Djamel Belmadi to drop Riyad Mahrez seemingly backfired, as Mauritania recorded a first victory in the tournament. The disappointment in the team’s performance and the unexpected elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations likely fueled the anger and frustration among the Fennec Foxes’ supporters.
