Friendly: Algeria 4-1 Oman

Oman were handed a 4-1 defeat by Algeria in an international football friendly match played in Doha on Monday.

Paul Le Guen-coached Omanis were completely outplayed by the African outfit though they managed to score a goal thanks to a 74th minute effort by Ali Sulaiman Al Busaidi.

But the goal came too late for Oman as the Algerians had already netted four goals with Ishak Belffdil and Sofiane Feghouli scoring a brace each.

The Algerians opened the account just two minutes after kick-off with Ishak scoring his first goal. In the 24th minute, Sofiane struck first of his two goals.

After resumption, Algeria scored two goals in two minutes - first by Sofaine in the 61st minute and Ishak his second in the 62 minute.

Oman, who routed Malaysia 6-0 at home in another friendly on Thursday, played the match as part of their preparations for the 2019 Asian Cup and 2018 World Cup qualifications.

The draw for the Asian and world event will take in Malaysia on April 14.
