Said Benrahma's first taste of an international tournament is quickly turning into a nightmare for the Algerian attacker.
Ahead of the tournament, Benrahama could not hide his excitement at representing his country on the international stage, but after seeing his country take just one point from two games, reigning champions Algeria are on the verge of exiting AFCON at the group stages.
Benrahma has only seen seven minutes of action during the opening two games after being an unused substitute during the 1-0 defeat to Equatorial Guinea. Despite his limited minutes, the Hammer could have made himself a national hero in the group opener when he spurned a glorious chance to win the clash with Sierra Leone late on. After defeat to African minnows Equatorial Guinea, Benrahma's miss is starting to look even more costly.
