ALGIERS – MC Alger missed the opportunity to temporarily take the top spot by losing the derby against CR Belouizdad 1-3 (halftime: 1-1) on Wednesday evening at the Olympic Stadium of July 5 in Algiers, in the opening match of the 10th round of the Football League 1 Mobilis Championship, which will continue on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

However, the former Montpellier player made up for it five minutes later by opening the scoring (14th minute).

After a few attempts, the team from Laâquiba managed to equalize thanks to the tireless Islam Slimani.

Left unmarked in the penalty area, the current all-time top scorer of the national team capitalized on a cutback cross from Meziane (31st minute).

In the second half, CRB imposed their rhythm, taking the lead with a powerful 25-meter strike from Benguit (64th minute).
