Fodil Hadjadj scored after 65 minutes of the Algerian Cup final to earn title holders Mouloudia a 1-0 victory over neighbours USMA, who were also losing finalists last year.

The victors qualify for the African Confederation Cup with third-placed league finishers JSM Bejaia while winners Entente Setif and runners-up Jeunesse Sportive Kabylie enter the African Champions League.

Real Banjul will be another African Champions League entrant next year after pipping Wallidan and Ports Authority in a thrilling climax to the Gambian title chase.

Banjul ended an eight-year title drought by coming from behind to draw 1-1 with Bakau United and pip Wallidan on goal difference while defending champions Ports blew their chance after losing 1-0 to Gamtel.
