The encounter between AS Khroub and USM Annaba was a closely contested match, ultimately decided by AS Khroub's efficient finishing. AS Khroub's first goal came swiftly at just under six minutes, setting an early tone against USM Annaba. Their ability to capitalize on early pressure demonstrated effective attacking in the first half. USM Annaba responded in the 41st minute, leveling the score before halftime, which highlighted their resilience and capability of breaking down AS Khroub’s defense.

Statistically, USM Annaba maintained a slight advantage in set-piece opportunities with four corner kicks compared to AS Khroub's two, suggesting territorial advantage at times. However, USM Annaba's inability to convert these set pieces into goals was a missed opportunity that ultimately impacted their quest for a positive result. In contrast, AS Khroub proved more clinical in open play, striking early in the second half to secure the lead once again.

Teamwork played a pivotal role in AS Khroub's victory. Despite trailing in corner kicks, AS Khroub displayed superior composure and discipline in their play, committing fewer offsides (two to Annaba’s one) and playing a cleaner game with only seven fouls compared to Annaba's three. This disciplined approach allowed them to maintain structural integrity, which minimized risk and maximized their effectiveness in transition play, especially in the second half where their decisive goal secured the win. Their performance underscores the significance of efficient finishing and disciplined play in securing critical victories.
