Squad

Kheireddine Boussouf damages knee ligaments — 87 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 87 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

No end in sight to ES Ben Aknoun's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at ES Ben Aknoun has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Abdeljalil Saâd 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 ES Ben Aknoun this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Abdelkader Tamimi

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 19 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings

Aziz Benabdi takes the honours

Marked 7.39 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, ES Ben Aknoun had the best player on the pitch.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at ES Ben Aknoun

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Alaa Eddine Aissani

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Alaa Eddine Aissani has come out of that comparison in the side, and ES Ben Aknoun have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Player ratings

Badis Bouamama runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Aymen Chaaraoui was immovable

13 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

In brief

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Kheireddine Boussouf

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

Match

Cup progress for ES Ben Aknoun

A 2‑0 win over ES Setif, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Player ratings

Redouane Bounoua scores twice — 8.12

Two goals and a mark of 8.12 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

Nadjib Berrabah: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” ES Ben Aknoun have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Allesandro Du Plessis is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 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

Tempers go at ES Ben Aknoun

Guido Di Vanni 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.

Match

ES Mostaganem take the points off ES Ben Aknoun

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Chemseddine Lakehal shuts the door

Defensive actions: 19, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Defensive actions: 17, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.
