In a match that underscored the struggles of Mostaganem and the resilience of CR Belouizdad, the visitors emerged victorious with a 2-0 win on November 2, 2025. The game, held at an undisclosed venue, marked another challenging chapter for Mostaganem, who now find themselves in a precarious position in the Ligue 1 standings.
From the outset, it was clear that CR Belouizdad came into this match with confidence. They had recently secured a hard-fought victory against ASO Chlef just days prior and were looking to build on that momentum. In contrast, Mostaganem had been struggling, suffering five losses in their last six matches. Their recent form left fans wondering if they could turn things around against a team that seemed to have found its footing.
The first half saw CR Belouizdad take control early on. In the 23rd minute, they broke the deadlock with a well-placed goal from an unknown scorer. This early strike set the tone for Mostaganem's uphill battle throughout the match. Despite some attempts to rally back, Mostaganem struggled to create meaningful chances and found themselves increasingly frustrated as the minutes ticked away.
As halftime approached, it became evident that Mostaganem needed to make adjustments if they hoped to salvage anything from this encounter. However, their efforts were met with resistance from a disciplined Belouizdad defense that effectively neutralized any threats posed by Ahmed Belhadj and Sofiane Khadir.
The second half continued much like the first, with CR Belouizdad maintaining their composure and controlling possession. As time wore on, it became clear that Mostaganem's hopes were dwindling. In the 84th minute, CR Belouizdad struck again with another goal from an unknown player, sealing their fate in what had become a frustrating evening for Mostaganem supporters.
With this result, Mostaganem remains in 14th place with just eight points after nine matches played-a stark reminder of their ongoing struggles this season. Their inability to score has become alarming; they have netted only once since their solitary victory over ES Setif weeks ago. The pressure is mounting as they prepare for their next match against Khenchela on November 8.
On the other hand, CR Belouizdad climbs to 11th place with ten points from seven matches played. This victory not only boosts their morale but also provides them with crucial momentum heading into their upcoming clash against USM Alger on November 8. With two wins in their last three outings across competitions, they appear poised to continue building on this success.
Reflecting on my pre-match predictions-where I anticipated a tightly contested affair-I must admit I underestimated how decisively CR Belouizdad would assert themselves today. While I expected both teams would struggle offensively given their recent forms, it was clear that one side was more prepared than the other.
As both teams look ahead to their next fixtures, there are significant stakes involved beyond mere league points. For Mostaganem, finding solutions will be essential if they hope to avoid further descent down the table; meanwhile, CR Belouizdad will aim to capitalize on this victory as they seek consistency moving forward in Ligue 1 play.
