The JS Kabylie Chronicle
Match3 Oct 2026
JS Kabylie come from 2 down to beat ES Mostaganem
At 2 goals adrift this was a formality, and the formality lasted right up until it did not. JS Kabylie found something the first half had given no notice of, and ES Mostaganem could not hold what they had.

Both of them Billal Messaoudi's — 8.71
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.71, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Vintage Ryad Boudebouz — 8.07
At 36 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.07, and nobody on the pitch better.

Nobody wants to play JS Kabylie right now
4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

The step up is real for Massy Si Youcef
At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

JS Kabylie find a way past ES Mostaganem
ES Mostaganem made JS Kabylie work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Mohamed Réda Hamidi 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 JS Kabylie this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

50 goals in the shirt for Billal Messaoudi
50 for the club now, each one filed in somebody’s memory with a date and a scoreline. Numbers like this are what supporters argue about in twenty years.

Player of the month: Abdennour Iheb Belhocini
Four weeks in which nobody in the division did his job better. The award goes on a shelf and the player goes back into the side, which is the order JS Kabylie prefer.
