Toufik Moussaoui stands alone
8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Abderrahmane Bacha scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to ES Mostaganem, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Nabil Feghouli left the room before anybody could ask which.

No place in the plan for Lalaina Rafanomezantsoa
The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
