SEO Match Summary
Algeria dominated World Cup qualification Group G with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Somalia in Mogadishu, controlling the match through superior possession and clinical finishing. The visitors dominated with 72 per cent possession and 22 shots, generating 2.69 xG, with Mohamed Amoura scoring twice and Riyad Mahrez adding the third to secure a commanding performance. Somalia, operating in a 4-2-3-1 formation, offered limited attacking threat, mustering just five shots with none finding the target, whilst their goalkeeper made three saves from six shots on target faced. Algeria's goalkeeper maintained a clean sheet with an xG conceded of 0.0, reflecting the hosts' inability to create meaningful chances. The gulf in quality was evident throughout, with Somalia's 28 per cent possession and lack of clinical edge condemning them to a heavy defeat. Algeria's dominance keeps them firmly on course in qualifying; Somalia face an uphill battle to recover from this setback.

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.
