Sierra Leone hold the reigning African champions, Algeria to a goalless draw on their return to the Africa Cup of Nations tournament for the first time since 1996, at the Stade Omnisport de Douala.
Algeria are the favourites to lift the trophy once again this year but they were left stunned by the Leone Stars, who were the better side in the first half and easily could have found themselves a couple of goals ahead with better finishing.
Alhaji Kamara thought he had given Leone Stars the lead with a tap-in from a goalmouth scramble, but the offside flag cut the celebrations short.
Mahrez was at his creative best to set up a host of chances, but Man Of The Match, Mohamed Kamara kept his side hope alive with some superb saves.
With this result Algeria claims its undefeated run stands at 35 matches and just three away from setting a new record from the record of 37 undefeated internationals in a row set by European champions Italy last year, Italy went three years without a loss from 2018 to 2021.
