Ued-Akbou secured their first points of the season with a 2-0 win against JS El Biar in Ligue 1's opening round on Wednesday evening. The match ended at the Stade El Biar with the visitors taking all three points from the fixture.
And here's the thing about the evening's decisive moment — it came from the spot. T. Addadi converted a penalty in the 57th minute, and despite the scoreboard reading 2-0, the records show only that single goal event. To be fair, the visitors managed to hold on after their breakthrough.
Discipline was tighter than expected for a season opener. M. Bushina picked up a yellow card in the 22nd minute, while B. Fonseca went off the park four minutes before half-time. F. Abdat, K. Aribi, T. Addadi, and R. Hitala all received cautions, with the home side's Bushina booked again before being substituted.
By then, the managers had already started reshuffling their units. M. Al-Hussein came on for the hosts at 39 minutes, and F. Tahar followed shortly after the break. The 70th minute saw three changes — T. Tahar, M. Bushina, and O. Sheeta all entered the field as the game moved into its final quarter.
Neither side carries any points into this campaign. The standings show both teams at zero games, zero wins, zero draws, zero losses, and zero points — though Ued-Akbou sit seventh and El Biar 14th based on previous seasons. The visitors arrive with a mixed recent record, including draws against Ben Aknun and JS Kabylie, while the home side had seen more defeats than victories in their last five outings.
