Amoura Shines in AFCON 2025 Opener as Algeria Overpowers Sudan

AFCON 2025: Algeria Start Strong

Algerian forward Mohamed Amin Amoura influenced the big win by the Greens against Sudan as both teams kicked off their Africa Cup of Nations 2025 campaign in Morocco.

Amoura assisted the second goal for star Riyad Mahrez, underlining his active role in Algeria's lineup this year.

In his imprint today against Sudan, Amoura registered 15 goal involvements across the last nine appearances for the Algerian side: 11 goals and four assists, with the group-stage matches versus Burkina Faso and Equatorial Guinea looming on the 28th and 31st to cap the year on a high.

Amoura and Mahrez: Numbers Don't Lie

Amoura stands ahead of all Algeria’s stars, with Mahrez among the top creators this year.

Mahrez scored twice today against Sudan, guiding the Desert Foxes to a 3-0 win and topping Group Six.

This year, up to today’s match against the Falcons of Sudan, Mahrez has four goals and four assists.

Notably, Mohamed Amin Amoura, Wolfsburg’s star, is Africa’s World Cup qualifying top scorer with ten goals.

Punchline 1: If Amoura keeps scoring like this, the net will file a complaint for constructive interference.

Punchline 2: Mahrez and Amoura are proof that football is a comedy—just with more goals and less stand-up.
