USM Alger secured their second CAF Super Cup title by defeating Mamelodi Sundowns 3-1 in Pretoria on Sunday. Ahmed Khaldi was instrumental in the victory, playing a key role in all three goals. Zakaria Draoui and Saadi Radouani added to Khaldi's efforts, leading to Sundowns only scoring a penalty goal from Iqraam Rayners. The match took place at Loftus Versfeld Stadium, where Sundowns had previously been denied a continental honor.
Injuries disrupted Sundowns' preparations, leading to coach Miguel Cardoso making two early changes. The victory marked the seventh CAF Super Cup win for CAF Confederation Cup champions, while Egypt's Pyramids FC was the only CAF Champions League winner to lift the trophy during this period. USM Alger had previously won the Super Cup in 2023, extending their continental honor collection.
