ALGIERS, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- Algeria's football team on Thursday evening secured a convincing victory with a score of 5-1 in a friendly match held at the Chahid-Hamlaoui stadium in Constantine province, situated 390 km east of Algiers.

Algeria's goals were scored by Amoura (12'), Aouar (39' and 41'), Zerrouki (61'), and Slimani (89') through a penalty kick.

Cape Verde managed to score once, with Bebe finding the net in the 55th minute.

The Fennecs, as Algeria's team is known, are set to face Egypt in a friendly match next Monday at the Hazza bin Zayed stadium in Al Ain of the United Arab Emirates.
