USM Alger defeated Zamalek 1-0 in a highly controversial CAF Confederations Cup final played yesterday evening at Stade de 5 Juillet in Algiers. The match featured multiple VAR interventions and ended in chaos during the closing minutes.
The game remained tightly contested throughout with Zamalek adopting a defensive block that limited USM Alger's attacking opportunities. Zamalek created few chances but saw one goal disallowed for offside while another effort from Chica Banza was cleared off the line by USM Alger captain Radouani.
