Algerian national team player Mohamed Beshir Belomi has made a significant impact in his second start for the team, scoring his first international goal in a match against Burundi. The game was part of the team's first away trip with Belomi, who played a crucial role in the match, showcasing his skills and confidence on the field. Despite Algeria trailing 2-1 at halftime, Belomi's goal in the 30th minute kept the team in the game and gave them hope for a comeback.

Belomi's performance was notable, as he played without any visible nerves and showed great ability on the field. He had several opportunities to score, making threatening runs down the right flank and creating chances for himself and his teammates. Although he often found himself isolated on the right side due to the lackluster performance of his midfield partners, Chaibi and Abdelli, Belomi continued to make efforts and eventually scored a powerful goal that deceived the Burundian goalkeeper.

This goal marks a significant milestone for Belomi, who had previously shown promise in his first appearance for the national team in a match against a rival team at the Hussein Ait Ahmed stadium. In that game, he played for 71 minutes and impressed with his skills, including successful dribbles, intelligent movements, and precise passes. Belomi's performance has generated excitement among Algerian fans, who see him as a potential key player for the team.

Belomi's rise to prominence has been swift, as he has quickly become a contender for a starting position on the right wing. His competition for this spot includes players like Haj Moussa, who was benched due to injury, and Kbal, who had a modest appearance in the recent match. With his confidence growing, Belomi is expected to play an increasingly important role for the Algerian national team in the coming matches.

The Algerian team's coach is reportedly pleased with Belomi's progress and is expected to continue giving him opportunities to develop and grow as a player. The team's upcoming friendly match against Niger will provide another chance for Belomi to showcase his skills and help the team prepare for future competitions.

Belomi's goal against Burundi has also been seen as a positive sign for the Algerian team's attacking play, which has been an area of focus for the coach. With Belomi's pace and skill on the wing, the team may look to adopt a more attacking approach in future matches.

As the Algerian national team continues to prepare for upcoming competitions, Belomi's development and growth as a player will be closely watched by fans and coaches alike. With his first international goal under his belt, Belomi is expected to take on a more significant role for the team and help Algeria achieve success in the world of football.
