By conceding a draw in this chopper match, Franck Dumas’ proteges are complicating their task, even if there are still three games to play.
The penalty missed by Belahouel in the last minute of regulation time will cost CR Belouizdad dear in the race for qualification. With only two points in three games, the CRB is off to a bad start to hope to reach the quarter-finals of this 2020-2021 edition of the CAF Champions League.
Surprised from the outset (3 ′) by Abderrahmane Yousif’s goal, Chabab restored the balance just before the break by Beninese Marcelin Koukpo. But, the Belouizdadis will not succeed in taking the advantage, even if the opportunities were not lacking. Chemseddine Nessakh’s direct free kick in the 85th minute and Belahouel’s missed penalty in the 90th minute show that the Algerians did not show great concentration.
The pressure was strong after the heavy defeat (5-1) conceded in the previous match in Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania against Mamelodi Sundowns. Like Amir Sayoud, imprecise in his game unlike usual, the entire Chabab team was in a day without. It is to be hoped that the French coach Franck Dumas manages to re-motivate his players so that they get back into the competition.
