Algeria secured a 3-1 victory over Zimbabwe in an International Friendly on 13 November, with the hosts' three-goal margin reflecting their superior attacking efficiency. Operating in a 3-5-2 formation, Algeria generated an expected goals total of 2.26 from 11 shots, of which four found the target, demonstrating clinical finishing beyond their underlying metrics. Zimbabwe, deployed in a defensive 5-4-1 shape, managed only 1.08 xG across seven attempts with three on target, though their goalkeeper maintained a respectable 66.67 per cent save rate. Mohamed Amoura netted once for the victors in a performance that underscored Algeria's attacking potency against a well-organised but limited opponent. The win showcases Algeria's attacking depth in friendly competition ahead of their next fixture.

Goalkeeper Performance
Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
