THE MC Algiers The Mouloudia Club of Algiers, more commonly abbreviated to Mouloudia of Algiers or MCA, is an Algerian multi-sport club founded on August 7, 1921 and based in Algiers. The Mouloudia Club of Algiers is the only Algerian team that managed to win the treble in 1976 and winning the first continental trophy. brought back a valuable draw from their trip to Yaoundé where they managed to keep the Cameroonian team of Colombe FC in check (1-1), this Sunday at the Ahmadou Ahidjo sports stadium, in a match counting for the first leg of the second preliminary round of the African Champions League.
On Cameroonian soil, the reigning local champion was the first to stand out. Taking advantage of a lackluster start to the game from the Green and Red, the host Algerians took advantage of this situation to break the deadlock and open the scoring in the 14th minute through Inno Loemba.
Shaken by this goal, the Mouloudéens managed to re-mobilize and gradually return to their match. The protégés of the South African technician, Rhulani Mokwena, tried by all means to thwart the vigilance of their adversary of the day, but success eluded Bayazid’s comrades.
However, and by dint of running behind the equalizer, the MCA ended up being rewarded at the very end of the game. Following a good free kick, well executed by Halaïmia, on the right side, Ghezzala emerged from behind the opposing defenders to set the record straight with a nice flat foot, in the 86th minute.
Thanks to this good, deserved result, the Dean is in the best position before the return leg scheduled for next Sunday, October 26, at 8:00 p.m., at the Ali Ammar stadium, known as Ali La Pointe, in Douéra (Algiers).
As a reminder, JS Kabylie, second Algerian representative in this competition, did better than MCA. Indeed, the Canaries have almost assured their qualification for the group stage after crushing the Tunisians of US Monastir (0-3), last Friday at the Tayeb M’hiri stadium in Sfax.
In this North African derby, where everything was decided in the second half, the Canaries took off just after returning from the locker room by breaking the deadlock through Meghrem.
Highly visible during the first period, where he had a few opportunities to score, the former Usmist ended up hitting the mark in the 49th minute with a superb left-footed shot lodged in the top corner of the Tunisian goalkeeper.
In the 55th minute, Meghrem was forced to give up his place due to an injury. The German coach of JSK, Josef Zinnbauer, decided to trust Akhrib and the latter did not miss the opportunity to prove his coach right.
In fact, the new addition only needed 9 minutes to shine and double the lead in the 64th minute. Well served by Lahemri, Akhrib concluded a very good counter-attack allowing the Yellow and Green to make the break and manage the rest of the game with serenity.
As if to confirm its domination, JSK added a third goal at the very end of the match through the Senegalese Babacar Sarr (89′).
