🚨 Algeria crowned continental champions! One, two, three, long live... Algiers!
After defeating Egyptian giants Zamalek SC on penalties (8-7, 1-1 after regular time), USM Alger won the CAF Confederation Cup, Africa’s equivalent of the Europa League. Appointed last March, Senegalese coach Lamine Ndiaye pulled off a real masterstroke in this competition. For the club from Algiers, it is a second title in the competition in three years.
When taking stock of the competition and this final, we must also lament the excessive use of lasers by Egyptian supporters, especially during the penalty shootout. It is a scourge that continues to plague major African competitions. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
