Anis Hadj Moussa delivered a stunning performance on home turf, securing Algeria's unexpected 1-0 victory over the Netherlands in a World Cup warm-up match. His goal four minutes from time electrified fans and ensured a morale-boosting win at De Kuip stadium.

Hadj Moussa, who represents Dutch club Feyenoord, demonstrated his skill by cutting in from the right wing and striking a powerful shot into the far corner. This effort marked his first international goal and dampened the Dutch team's celebratory send-off ahead of their New York journey.

Despite several missed scoring opportunities, Dutch captain Virgil van Dijk emphasized the need for improvement.
