ES Setif
ES Setif battled hard in a physical contest but ultimately lacked the cutting edge to break down Akbou’s defense. Despite being handed a numerical advantage late on, Setif could not find an equalizer. Their approach was combative, reflected in the five yellow cards they received, but they struggled to convert possession into meaningful opportunities. Setif’s inability to capitalize on Akbou’s red card in the closing minutes will be a source of frustration, as they failed to make their extra man count when it mattered most.

Tactical Analysis
With no lineup data available, both sides approached the game with a combative mindset, as evidenced by the high card count. Akbou’s tactical discipline was apparent in their ability to maintain a solid defensive shape, especially after going down to ten men. Their late goal suggests a willingness to push forward in key moments, while also being able to absorb pressure. Setif, meanwhile, pressed for an equalizer after Akbou’s red card but lacked the incisiveness needed in the final third. Their inability to make the most of set pieces and numerical superiority ultimately cost them, as Akbou’s compact defensive lines held firm.
