Against South Korea on Sunday the Algerians are are dominating early, thanks to a goal from Islam Slimani in the 26th minute and a goal from Rafik Halliche two minutes later.
The first goal from Slimani was an impressive one, he fought off two defenders to get control of a ball bouncing towards the goal, and was then able to get the ball past the goal keeper.

To celebrate, Slimani picked a celebration that many Americans will recognize as the signature gesture of quarterback Johnny Manziel. Now it is a universal sign for money and he was probably making some other kind of statement with the celebration, like club teams sign me and give me a deal. Or it could have a completely different meaning in Algeria, but it is fun to think he was doing it as a tribute to Manziel.
Though in the future Slimani needs to spread his hands out a little bit further apart.
