ALGIERS, Algeria (Jan. 8, 2026) (Interstat) — USM Alger scored deep in stoppage time to salvage a 1-1 draw with MC Oran in an Algerian Ligue 1 match Thursday at Stade du 5 Juillet 1962.

Defender Adem Alilet put the visiting side ahead with a header in the 51st minute. The home side pressed for an equalizer and found it in the fourth minute of added time when substitute Yacine Aliane headed home a cross from fellow substitute Chakib Aoudjane. The dramatic finish matched the projection of Interstat’s game simulator, which had predicted a 1-1 draw despite giving USM Alger a 73.5% probability to win outright.

The result leaves USM Alger with one loss in 10 league matches this season, while MC Oran’s record in the competition moved to five wins, five draws and four losses. Five yellow cards were issued in the match.
