USMA 2-1 SuperSport
USMA of Algeria
Algeria's USMA beat SuperSport of South Africa 2-1
USMA of Algeria left it late to beat SuperSport United of South Africa 2-1 in Group B of the Champions League on Friday.

15,000 fans in Algiers saw Mali's Mamadou Diallo score twice, the second in the fourth minute of stoppage time, to give the home side all three points.

Diallo, who now tops the Champions League scoring with eight goals, grabbed his first after 34 minutes.

Yet it looked as though SuperSport United had salvaged a point from the tie when Abram Raselemane scored an equaliser in the 84th minute.

Raselemane's goal came despite the South African side playing the entire second-half with ten men, after Tsweu Mokoro was controversially red-carded for a dangerous foul on goalkeeper Farid Belmellat.

The Algerians dominated the second period and were only denied further goals by some heroic goalkeeping on the part of Calvin Marlin.

Bilel Dziri, Hocine Achiou, Diallo and Hamidou Balbone all had had good chances to make the game safe for USMA.

The result means that SuperSport have lost both their opening games and are bottom of Group B, while USMA now have three points behind Tunisian side Esperance.
