USM Alger loses again: League leader JS Saoura celebrates!
On September 21, 2025, Ligue 1 of the Algerian football championship experienced an exciting 5th matchday in which the teams put in a lot of effort. The encounter between JS Saoura and USM Alger stole the show, as the league leaders from Béchar beat the “Reds” 1-0. This was another setback for the Algerian team, who have only won one of five games so far this season.
Hammia scored the decisive goal in the 6th minute of the game, which made the spectators in the stands cheer. USM Alger had a few chances throughout the game, including a missed penalty by Benzaza in the 36th minute. Despite being outnumbered after Brahimi's red card in the 75th minute, the guests were unable to match their performance and ultimately had to leave the pitch as losers. But the joy on the part of the hosts was understandable; With this victory, JS Saoura remains the undisputed league leader. FootAfrique reports that they were able to further increase their gap to their pursuers, while USM Alger continues to slip down the table.
Poor performance from USM Alger
USM Alger's record speaks for itself: in addition to just one win from five games, they are now under pressure. Recently there was another draw against USM Khenchela, which further angered the fanatical Algerois supporters. As MatchEnDirect's statistics show, they have picked up just one meager point from their last three meetings, deepening the concerns of the teams and their fans. The performances cannot continue like this if you want to pursue the goal of being in the top third of the table.
On the sidelines, the refereeing decisions also added to the heat of the game as the two teams lost a player each in the 75th and 83rd minutes, adding to the excitement. Despite USM Alger's hoped-for turnaround early in the game, they were unable to turn things around and their weakened defense continues to make itself felt.
