CAF CL: JS Saoura collapses in the final moments of the match... (video)

After winning the first leg by a narrow margin, the players of JS Saoura failed to maintain their lead, collapsing in the dying moments in Conakry during the preliminary round of the Champions League.

In their third participation in this prestigious African tournament, after 2017 and 2019, the Béchar team experienced failure, just like in their first attempt, where they were eliminated right from the start by Nigeria's Enugu Rangers, whom Mouloudia d'Alger will face in the next round.

The Yellow team had a slight advantage against Guinea's Horoya, whom they defeated 1-0 in Oran ten days ago, thanks to a goal from Oussama Bentaleb in the 44th minute.

Yesterday, the Algerians conceded a goal as early as the 17th minute from a penalty, following a mistake by goalkeeper Salhi, before Haddouche equalized in the 72nd minute, which should have secured their qualification, but things did not go as planned...

In stoppage time, the players of Lotfi Boudrâa succumbed to a second opposing goal from a deflected shot by a Saoura player (90th), but the away goal still allows them to keep their hopes alive for advancing to the second round.

However, JSS, who missed at least two clear chances against the goalkeeper, ultimately conceded a goal in the 92nd minute from a header by Salif Coulibaly in front of a passive defense...

Defeat 3-1 in Conakry against a Guinean team that finally got to play at home after years of unapproved stadiums in the country. Saoura itself suffers from having to play its international matches at least 800 km from its city, waiting for the delivery of their new stadium.
