🚨 A continental crown for Algeria! | OneFootball

One, two, three, viva... Algiers!

After defeating Egyptian giants Zamalek on penalties (8-7, 1-1 after regular time), USM Alger won the CAF Confederation Cup, Africa’s equivalent of the Europa League.

Appointed last March, Senegalese coach Lamine Ndiaye pulled off a real masterstroke in this competition.

For the Algiers club, this is a second CAF Confederation Cup title in three years. 

When taking stock of the competition and this final, we must also lament the excessive use of lasers by Egyptian supporters, especially during the penalty shootout. It is a blight that continues to plague major African competitions.
