Spearheaded by Al-Ahli star Riyad Mahrez, the emphatic win propelled the North African giants to the summit of Group G, amassing 15 points after six matchdays.

The Fennecs dominated proceedings throughout the encounter, with Mohamed Amoura stealing the spotlight by netting an impressive hat-trick at the renowned Hocine Aït Ahmed Stadium.

Meanwhile, in Group C, South Africa secured a crucial 2-0 triumph over Benin at Stade Félix Houphouët Boigny on Tuesday. Despite missing a final training session at the venue, Bafana Bafana asserted their dominance, with Lyle Foster and Jayden Adams finding the back of the net.

Over in Group E, Morocco, fresh from their historic semi-final run at the previous FIFA World Cup, continued their impeccable form with a 2-0 victory against Tanzania.

The Atlas Lions remain one of the most formidable teams on the African continent, having won five matches out of five in their World Cup qualifying campaign, scoring 14 goals and conceding only two so far.
