Here is an article that will tell you about the sports news of the weekend! On Saturday June 3, USM Alger won the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Cup for the first time in its history. After a first meeting in Tanzania where USM Alger won 2-1, the return match in Algiers was very intense.
From the first minutes, the Young Africans of Tanzania dominated the match and opened the scoring with a penalty converted by the Congolese Djuma Shabani. In the second half, USM Alger was more enterprising but missed a penalty in the 59th minute. The match therefore ended in a 1-0 defeat for USM Alger, but their victory in the first leg allowed them to win the trophy.
This victory should be the pride of the Algerian supporters who lived a crazy evening in a stadium of July 5, 1962 full to bursting. After 88 years of existence, the Young Africans of Tanzania are still in search of the coveted title.
This victory is a great feat for USM Alger, which has thus entered its name into the history of African football. Fans can now rejoice and look forward to more titles in the years to come
