CR Belouizdad Overcomes JS Saoura to Temporarily Claim Third Place
CR Belouizdad secured an important victory against visitors JS Saoura with a 1-0 scoreline in a match held at the 5 July Stadium on Tuesday evening, during the fifth round of the Professional League, thanks to a goal from the impressive striker Mohamed Bouderbala in the 32nd minute.
The only goal of the match came after a cross from Loussaief, which Bouderbala skillfully received before placing the ball into the net, surpassing goalkeeper Salhi, to give his team an additional three points in the championship race.
With this victory, CR Belouizdad raised their points tally to ten, following a draw with US Khenshela in the first round, a win against US Birkine in the second round, and an away victory against Olympique de Aïn M'lila in the third round, before suffering a defeat against Moustakbel de Rouissat in the fourth round, temporarily climbing to third place in the standings.
On the other hand, JS Saoura's situation worsened, as they remained stuck at two points in the second-to-last position, following a draw with US Biskra in the first round and Olympique de Aïn M'lila in the fourth round, in addition to a heavy defeat by four goals to US Birkine in the third round.
JS Saoura has a postponed match in the second round against US Khenshela, which could provide them with an opportunity to improve their points and position in the standings.
It is worth noting that the fifth round of the Professional League will conclude tomorrow, Wednesday, with two matches, where ES Sétif will host Kabylie, while Moustakbel de Rouissat will visit Jeunesse de Ain Témouchent in the other match.
