00:00of Morocco.

00:04It'll be a hostile atmosphere today for those ASEC players.

00:11USM Alger, always very strong at home here at the Stade Omar Hamadi.

00:17USM immediately on the attack.

00:32They'll be desperate for a fast start. Both these teams of course dropping points earlier.

00:37They're certainly favourites to both go through. It wasn't the worst pass but it was strong defending

00:48there from Lamara. That wasn't a very good pass at all and ASEC might be in here for a good early

00:54chance. They've hit the post and ASEC and it was struck well. Nadri Dago almost had Ben Bout beaten

01:06at his near post. And the first half... Khadija is playing out on the left now.

01:18In goes the low ball towards Ali and it's into his own net.

01:23USM Alger take the lead, quarter of an hour in.

01:29The cross from Hussam Khadija was searching for the run of Wale Musa Ali.

01:36His own goal that opens the scoring. Mohamed Ali Yabre.

01:45He managed to cover the run but he couldn't open his foot enough to put it behind for a corner.

01:59Maybe he could have tried to clear it back where it came.

02:01And now there's space for Hatcher who's moved back over to this right-hand side

02:06trying to continue Yabre's torrid evening but this time Dago takes. He's been headed on

02:19towards his own goal but Oussama Ben Bout was well positioned.

02:26That's a decent looking cross headed by an USM player. Surely this is it. It's 2-0.

02:35They've taken the lead. They've doubled their lead and USM Alger...

02:44Well that will be a very contentious moment if USM Alger don't go on to win this match.

02:50The ball clearly looked as though it went in

02:54of Belkasemi. Completely miskicked. He should have left the referee with no doubts.

03:02Maybe it was a good decision.

03:10Hard to see for sure from that angle but this is going to be a penalty.

03:13That's a really poor tackle and well ASSEC have been right in this game

03:21but hard to see whether or not they should have gone 2-0 down.

03:28But now USM Alger will have a very good opportunity to double their advantage.

03:36It's Koulibaly who's already been booked as well. If he doesn't go here he's

03:39going to be very lucky. It's a poorly timed challenge and also just a strange decision.

03:56Belkasemi who scored when these two teams played in the 2023 Confederation Cup semifinals

04:05is hoping to repeat the trick.

04:09So

04:27Belkasemi sends Charles Lafolle the wrong way and he scores against ASSEC Mimosas again.

04:36And perhaps for the second time in three seasons in this competition

04:42are going to endure a very disappointing away trip at the Stade Omar Khamadi.

04:53Belkasemi, cool as you like, and it's 2-0 to USM Alger.

04:59It was a crazy couple of minutes for ASSEC.

05:13Away goes Lamar. It's a great ball in. It's a fantastic save by Charles Lafolle.

05:19Well that really would have been game set and match. But as it is it's 2-0 and there is the

05:24halftime whistle. ASSEC Mimosas have it all to do in the second half. An own goal from Mohamed Ali

05:34Yabbeh. And so a team who very rarely lose at home, they rarely concede at home, have a 2-0 lead to defend.

05:48ASSEC will need the most unlikely of comebacks to get back into this.

05:54In goes the free kick and it went towards goal. Has that one crossed the line? Well it has now.

06:14This match is surely done and dusted as a contest. USM Alger are 3-0 in front.

06:21Hard to tell whose goal it was. Whether or not it crossed the line initially.

06:29It was lashed home on the follow-up. And the home team are cruising towards.

06:42They won 6-0 here. It looks like it's another own goal. Koulibaly's day is over.

06:51It's a bit of a bummer. Koulibaly gets worse and worse. Hard to say whether or not Ben Zazer was meaning to go for goal there.

07:02In the end it's come off Koulibaly. Belkacemi made sure

07:08that looked over the line. Although of course there was one in the first half that wasn't given.

07:14It's a really good delivery and a strong defensive header from Seydou Sakho. Had to get that one right.

07:29Pacha gets the return and the flag goes up for offside before the ball is put into the net

07:36by Sekou Gassama. Here's the final whistle. It's been a very accomplished performance from USM

07:42Alger. Helped on their way by the 15th minute own goal from Mohamed Ali Yablou. Belkacemi's

07:50penalty after a poor tackle from Koulibaly probably gave Aseg Mimosas too much to do.

07:58Belkacemi adding another in the second half. It looked as though it may have

08:01been a Koulibaly own goal but it has been given to Belkacemi.
