The knee: Yanis Hamache out for 28 days
28 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. JS Kabylie lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Malibongwe Khoza turns down JS Kabylie
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Mamelodi Sundowns keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Célestin Écua runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

JS Kabylie find a way past ES Ben Aknoun
ES Ben Aknoun made JS Kabylie work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

JS Kabylie promote Hillal Tahrat from within

Houssem Tahrat steps up from the JS Kabylie academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Houssem Tahrat has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Abdennour Iheb Belhocini 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.

100 appearances for Ahmed Mammeri
100 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

Abdennour Iheb Belhocini stands above it all
Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.79 on the card, and the JS Kabylie support went home talking about one name.
