Key moments

The decisive run arrived midway through the opening quarter. With Setif already ahead 6-4, their full-court pressure generated consecutive steals and easy layups, turning a tight start into a 22-6 cushion. Bejaia called timeout, but the pattern continued: Setif denied clean entry passes, forced hurried shots, and attacked the offensive glass whenever Bejaia tried to slow the game down.

The third quarter removed any doubt. Setif opened the second half with a 12-0 burst, pushing the ball into the paint before kicking out to open shooters. Bejaia’s half-court offense never found rhythm, and Setif’s bench maintained the defensive standard when the rotations changed.

Tactical story

Setif’s advantage came from defensive disruption and rebounding. They pressured Bejaia’s guards well beyond the arc, forced turnovers, and scored in transition before the defense could set. On offense, Setif played inside-out: the post touched the ball first, drawn defenders created open perimeter looks, and the offensive boards kept possessions alive. Bejaia tried both man-to-man and zone defenses, but neither slowed Setif’s ball movement.

Standout performers

Setif’s starting backcourt set the tempo on both ends, while the home center controlled the paint and the defensive glass. The bench added energy without a drop-off, and five Setif players reached double figures in a genuinely shared scoring effort. Bejaia’s leading scorer was held to single digits, a reflection of how difficult clean looks were to find.

Season impact

For Setif, the result strengthens their point differential and sends a clear message across the Algeria National A Women standings. For Bejaia, it is a night to review ball security and half-court execution, but the scoreline should not obscure the effort of a young rotation against a far more experienced opponent.
