Summary MC Alger won the 2025 edition of the Algerian Super Cup after defeating their rivals USM Alger 1–0. After a balanced first half (0–0), the decisive moment came in the 74th minute when Zakaria Naidji scored the only goal of the match with a well-placed header at the near post, following a cross from the right wing. Overall, MC Alger were the more threatening side. They created an early chance in the 1st minute through Moslem Anatouf, who found himself one-on-one with goalkeeper Oussama Benbot, but the latter reacted well to deny him. Further opportunities followed, including a direct free-kick from Réda Halaïmia (26’) that went just over, and a powerful volley from Chahreddine Boukholda that was brilliantly saved by Benbot. In the second half, MC Alger maintained their attacking edge and were eventually rewarded with Naidji’s goal. USM Alger pushed forward in the final 15 minutes, relying on substitutes like Ahmed Khaldi and Aimé Junior, but they were unable to break through a well-organized defense. This victory gives MC Alger their fifth Algerian Super Cup title (after 2006, 2007, 2014, and 2024), while USM Alger suffered their fourth defeat in the competition, despite winning it twice in 2013 and 2016.
