Anis Hadj Moussa has reached a major milestone in his young international career. The Algerian winger scored his very first goal for the Fennecs on Wednesday, securing a prestigious victory (1-0) over the Netherlands in a friendly match held in Rotterdam.

Anis Hadj Moussa celebrates his maiden goal for the national team. Coming off the bench, the Feyenoord player showcased his flair in the dying moments of the match. In the 86th minute, he found the back of the net with a decisive finish, allowing Vladimir Petković's men to triumph on Dutch soil. This first goal for the national side is a well-deserved reward for the Paris-born player's steady rise, as he cements his status as one of Algeria's most promising football talents.

A confirmation after his breakthrough

First revealed to the wider public during the last Africa Cup of Nations, Hadj Moussa continues to grow in stature within the national squad. His performances for both club and country have established him as a credible attacking option for the Fennecs.

This first goal in Algerian colours could mark the start of a new chapter for the 24-year-old.
