This match was completely one-sided, with Algeria controlling every part of the game from start to finish. Iraq never looked settled and spent most of the match defending deep, offering almost no attacking threat. Algeria kept the pressure on throughout, moving the ball confidently, creating better chances and keeping Iraq pinned back for long spells.
The 2–0 scoreline doesn’t fully reflect how dominant Algeria were, because the flow of the match showed a much bigger gap between the two sides. At no point did Iraq look capable of troubling Algeria, who were superior in possession, intensity, and overall quality.
