Algeria's star forward Amine Gouiri delivered an outstanding performance, scoring twice in a secretive 4-0 win over Bolivia during a World Cup warm-up match in Kansas City. The game, played behind closed doors, was not broadcasted, although Algeria's state TV promised online highlights.

Aissa Mandi initiated the scoreboard flourish for Algeria, known as Les Verts, before halftime. The team's coach, Vladimir Petkovic, dramatically altered the lineup during the interval, leading to a trio of rapid goals.

Gouiri shattered the Bolivian defense with a remarkable strike in the 56th minute, and scored once more shortly after. The decisive four-goal spree was capped by Anis Hadj Moussa, assisted by Ramiz Zerrouki. This prepares Algeria as they face Argentina, Jordan, and Austria in the group stage.
