Ibrahim Maza, the Bayer 04 Leverkusen playmaker, Mohamed Amin Amoura, the Nice striker, and Amin Chiakha, the Rosenborg player, were the standout performers, having scored four goals during their teams' matches, in a display that could enhance their chances ahead of the clashes against Togo in the third and fourth rounds of Africa Cup of Nations Qualification.

Mohamed Amin Amoura has started the Algerian brilliance series, contributing to Nice's victory over Rennes with a score of 5-2 during the match that took place on Friday evening in Ligue 1, by scoring one of his team's five goals.

Ibrahim Maza continues to confirm his outstanding levels with Bayer 04 Leverkusen, having scored a goal during the match against Stuttgart, which ended in a 4-2 victory for the latter in the Bundesliga.
