Kanchele and Ben Aknoun met in Ligue 1 on Thursday.
The fixture ended 1:1 in the third stage of the regular season.
It wasn't a game of flowing football, but one of tight defence.
N. Benzid broke the deadlock for the hosts in the 62nd minute.
M. Benchaira responded for the visitors in the 81st.
And here's the thing, the visitors seemed to control the tempo after the break.
The home side brought on K. Issouf and A. Mathew Fall right at the start of the second half.
A. Zaouche picked up a yellow card in the 55th minute and was substituted in the 65th.
By then, the game was settling into a rhythm.
The hosts had tried to find a winner in the final third but lacked the final pass.
The visitors dominated possession with 55 per cent against the hosts' 45 per cent.
The hosts earned 12 corners to the visitors' 4.
To be fair, the statistics show a game where chances were scarce.
The hosts tested the keeper 5 times, while the visitors managed 3 shots on target.
Both teams defended well in the box.
The hosts, sitting 10th with a point, shared the spoils.
The guests remain fourth with 4 points.
It was a sensible outcome for both sides.
