Algeria and Sierra Leone played to a goalless draw on Tuesday afternoon in Group E, though it was far from a typical stalemate as Mohamed Kamara produced an astonishing performance to deny the 2019 champions.
The 22-year-old put in a display of guts and determination as he managed to almost single-handedly earn a point for the West African nation in a game in which they were considered major underdogs.
