In a significant clash for the Algerian Ligue 1 Mobilis, MB Rouissat (MBR) secured a narrow but vital 1-0 victory over USM Alger (USMA) in a postponed fixture played on Saturday afternoon in Ouargla. This match, part of the updated 23rd round, saw MBR clinch a crucial home win that propels them up the league table, drawing them level with their opponents in 10th place, with both clubs now accumulating 36 points alongside Entente de S\u00e9tif.<\/p>\n
The decisive goal came in the 66th minute from Nadji Ben Kheira, though the solitary strike barely captured the essence of the game. Both teams engaged in an open, attacking style of play, creating numerous clear-cut opportunities. However, finishing proved elusive for much of the encounter.<\/p>\n
The fixture itself was a rescheduled event, necessitated by USM Alger's deep run in the African Confederation Cup. Their continental campaign culminated in a spectacular victory, where they triumphed over Egypt's Zamalek AC with an 8-7 penalty shootout win, following a 1-1 aggregate score over two legs.<\/p>\n
In a heartwarming display of sportsmanship before kickoff, the MB Rouissat players formed a guard of honor to salute the 'Rouge et Noir' for their exceptional 2025-2026 season. USM Alger's accolades extend beyond the continental title; they also lifted the Algerian Cup, defeating fierce rivals CR Belouizdad 2-1. USMA still has two outstanding league matches to play against CR Belouizdad and ES Ben Aknoun, which will further update their position in the standings.<\/p>\n
