In a surprising turn of events, USM Alger secured a 1-0 victory over the favored Al Ahly of Egypt in the African Super Cup on Friday. The decisive moment came in the first half when defender Zineddine Belaid confidently converted a penalty in the 42nd minute, clinching the coveted trophy for USMA. It's worth noting that USMA had claimed the previous season's African Confederation Cup.


Despite Al Ahly's impressive track record as Champions League winners in the previous campaign and two-time champions of the last three Super Cups, they couldn't capitalize on their opportunities during the match, which took place in Taif, Saudi Arabia.


This historic win makes USMA only the second Algerian team to triumph in the Super Cup, following in the footsteps of Entente Setif, who secured victory over Al Ahly via post-match penalties in 2015.
