CASABLANCA, Morocco (AP) — Algeria earned its first berth in the Women’s World Cup with a 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast in the quarterfinals of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday.
Khiris scored in the 58th minute with a long blast that Ivory Coast goalkeeper Aramatou Diakité got a hand on but couldn’t stop.
Ivory Coast had a chance to pull in front with a penalty kick in the 62nd minute, but Rebecca Elloh’s attempt went off the post.
Braham gave Algeria a 2-1 lead in the 64th minute with another stunner from distance that bounced before entering the goal.
Ivory Coast still has a chance to qualify for the World Cup.
