Sierra Leone Flag of Sierra Leone hold the reigning African champions Algeria Flag of Algeria to a goalless draw.
It's first time since 1996 that Sierra Leone will return to the African Cup of Nations tournament.
Sierra Leone would have taken a shock lead after just two minutes when Yacine Brahimi's blunder gave Alhaji Kamara half a chance but Aissa Mandi reacted fastest to deny him that opportunity.
Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez showed his class in the fourth minute when his no-look pass fooled the defenders, giving Islam Slimani a chance, but despite getting past the keeper, the angle became too tight and his effort went out for a goal kick.
Mahrez and Said Benrahma had chances to win it late for the Desert Foxes but they did not utilise them.
