TIZI-OUZOU, Algeria (March 18, 2026) (Interstat) — Substitute Abdelkader Boutiche scored the lone goal to lead visiting Saoura to a 1-0 victory over Kabylie in an Algerian Ligue 1 match Wednesday at Stade Hocine-Aït-Ahmed.

Boutiche broke the deadlock in the 38th minute, finishing a pass from fellow substitute Constant Wayou. The goal held as the winner, defying pre-match projections that heavily favored the home side. The result marked a successful start to the domestic campaign for Saoura, while Kabylie began its season with a defeat.

The match featured six yellow cards, including two to Kabylie’s Ahmed Mammeri, who was sent off in second-half stoppage time.
