Having been edged 1-0 by Egypt in their opening match, Lebanon knew they needed three points against Algeria to keep their quarter-final hopes alive. 

Although Algeria - who had kicked off their campaign with a 4-0 defeat of Sudan - dominated, Lebanon held their own for the better part of the match.

Their resistance, however, was finally broken in the 69th minute with Yacine Brahimi putting Algeria ahead.

Lebanon did their best to find the equaliser but Tayeb Meziani sealed the points and a place in the quarter-finals for Algeria with the West Asian side's elimination confirmed following Egypt's win against Sudan later in the day.
