CAF CL: Algerians shine brightly for ES Tunis

Espérance de Tunis sealed their ticket to the next round of the CAF Champions League in emphatic fashion, overpowering Niger's ASFA 4-1 after a commanding 3-0 win in the first leg. But beyond qualification, it was the technical connection between Kouceila Boualia and Youcef Belaïli that truly lit up this encounter. In the 20th minute, the former MCA player delivered a deft pass to Belaïli, who broke the deadlock with a crisp strike from the edge of the box. The move was a perfect illustration of the budding chemistry between the two Algerians in the blood and gold kit.
