USMA Secures Crucial Away Win in CAF Cup

USM Alger has claimed a significant away victory in the CAF Confederation Cup, defeating Olympique Safi 1-0 on their home turf. The match, held on matchday two, saw Abdelhak Benchikha's squad exhibit strong tactical discipline and control the game, despite not creating numerous scoring opportunities. Their patience was rewarded late in the second half.

The decisive moment arrived in the 84th minute when Zakaria Draoui capitalized on a defensive lapse, combining with Benayad to score the sole goal of the encounter. This composed finish secured three valuable points for the Algerian side, marking a perfect start to their continental campaign.

With this second consecutive win, following an earlier triumph against San Pédro, USMA now leads their group with a full 6 points. Their ability to secure an away win in the intense atmosphere of the El Massira Stadium demonstrates their capability and sets a strong foundation for their ambitions throughout the rest of the tournament.
