MC Alger suffered another setback in their quest for CAF Champions League glory, drawing 0-0 against South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns at the Ali Amar Stadium in Douira. The match, part of Group C’s second round, saw the Algerian side unable to capitalize on home advantage.
MC Alger entered the game hoping to recover from their opening-round defeat against Al-Hilal of Sudan. A significant crowd was present, providing considerable moral support. However, the team’s performance on the field failed to meet expectations. They struggled to control the game, relying heavily on counter-attacks that their forwards failed to exploit effectively.
Despite some timid attempts, neither side managed to break the deadlock, leaving the score unchanged at the final whistle. This result complicates MC Alger’s chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals, especially after failing to secure a win in the first two matches.
With this draw, MC Alger earned their first point in Group C, provisionally placing them third in the group. The upcoming rounds will require a more effective performance and a stronger presence if MC Alger aims to revive their competition hopes.
The team now faces mounting pressure to improve their attacking prowess and solidify their defense as they navigate the challenging group stage of the CAF Champions League. The fans will be expecting a much stronger showing in their next fixture.
