Riyad Mahrez's last-minute winner against Nigeria will certainly go down as one of the best goals scored at the ongoing AFCON tournament in Egypt. One gamer has taken the liberty to recreate the superb strike on his gaming console. Check it out.
It's the goal every aspiring footballer dreams of. A free-kick, perhaps 20 yards out, with the game deadlocked at one-all. Five minutes of additional time added on the clock and the eyes of the world are upon you. Placing the ball in the top corner beyond a helpless Daniel Akpeyi to ensure your country reaches its first AFCON final since 1990. It is a goal that Mahrez will never forget.
The 26-year-old Manchester City winger shared the memorable moment on his social media accounts referring to it as indescribable.

Mahrez's goal has set up a final showdown against a Sadio Mane-led Senegal on 19 July.
Do you think that Algeria can go on and win the AFCON?
