Defending Champs USM Alger Secure Victory Against SuperSport United FC
The reigning champions from Algeria embarked on a journey to the opposite side of the continent, clashing with South Africa's SuperSport United amidst the scorching heat of Polokwane.
Despite United's eagerness to bounce back from their previous loss to Egypt's Modern Future, they faced an even formidable opponent in USM Alger. Saadi Radouani secured the lead with a 5th-minute goal, followed by Brahim Benzaza's 56th-minute strike, solidifying the defending champions' position at the top of Group A.
With United remaining at the bottom, securing nothing less than a victory is imperative as they prepare to face Al Hilal Benghazi in Libya next Sunday.
