From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Matías Aguirregaray

21 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Binga lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Massiré Gassama keeps Binga in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Prosper Ibekwe puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Binga, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Ahmadou Bello runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Mohamed Koumaré signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mohamed Koumaré and Binga agree another 2 years.

Squad

Ahmadou Bello in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Binga this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Diego Cerón shuts the door

Defensive actions: 20, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Match

Binga make home a hard place to visit

8 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Match

Mohamed Koumaré the difference as Binga beat Djoliba

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Mohamed Koumaré. 1‑0 against Djoliba, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Matías Aguirregaray

49 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Binga lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Bakary Kouma puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Binga, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Binga

Mohamed Koumaré was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Diego Cerón

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 21 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad

Rami Bouaouiche signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Rami Bouaouiche commits to Binga for another 4 years.

Squad

Diego Cerón falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ahmadou Bello

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Binga find a way past Afrique Foot Elite

Afrique Foot Elite made Binga work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Nothing got past David Drocco

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 16 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

A fracture rules Mohamed Benkhemassa out for 16 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason MC Alger will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Tempers go at MC Alger

Zinedine Ferhat was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Ziad Nemer is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

A late step up for Mehdi Boucherit

At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ishak Talal Boussouf

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Mohamed Zoungrana was the difference for MC Alger

Marked 7.41. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The MC Alger Courier

31 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Mohamed Benkhemassa breaks a bone — 47 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 47 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Yakoub Gassi hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what MC Alger can pretend not to have heard.

Market

MC Alger turn down Nasarawa United for Abdelatif Ramdane

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
