CA Bizertin delivered a strong road performance in Tunisia Nationale 1, defeating AS Megrine 78-60 on 23 October 2026. The visitors combined balanced scoring with a decisive second-half push, turning a competitive first quarter into a comfortable victory that should boost their confidence and standings position in the early part of the campaign.

Final score and game flow

CA Bizertin controlled the game gradually rather than blowing it open immediately. The first quarter was closely contested, with Bizertin taking a 22-18 lead. By halftime, the advantage had grown to 41-32 as the visitors began to win the rebound battle and force AS Megrine into difficult perimeter shots.

The third quarter proved to be the turning point. Bizertin outscored the hosts 20-15 to extend the margin to 61-47, and they closed the game with a 17-13 fourth quarter to seal the 78-60 result. The final scoreline reflected Bizertin’s superior efficiency on both ends, especially after halftime.

Key moments

The decisive stretch came early in the second half, when CA Bizertin strung together a series of defensive stops and converted them into transition points. That run forced AS Megrine to call timeout and adjust, but the hosts could not recover the momentum. Every time Megrine threatened to cut the deficit, Bizertin answered with a composed possession and a quality look near the basket.

AS Megrine’s crowd remained engaged, and the home side showed flashes of energy with aggressive drives and offensive rebounds, but Bizertin’s discipline in the half-court made the difference. The visitors protected the ball in the final ten minutes and never allowed the game to become a one-possession contest.

Tactical story

CA Bizertin’s defensive approach was built on limiting clean three-point looks and forcing AS Megrine to score through contested mid-range attempts. The visitors also controlled the defensive glass, which reduced Megrine’s second-chance opportunities and allowed Bizertin to dictate the tempo.

On offense, Bizertin shared the ball well and attacked mismatches inside. Their guards probed the defense, drew help, and found open shooters or cutters. AS Megrine, by contrast, relied heavily on individual shot creation and struggled to sustain offensive rhythm when Bizertin increased the pressure in the third quarter.

Standout performers

Bizertin’s backcourt controlled the pace and made key decisions in the closing stages, while their interior players provided important rebounding and finishing around the rim. AS Megrine’s leading scorers kept the hosts within touching distance for long stretches, but the home side lacked the balanced contribution needed to match Bizertin’s depth.

What it means for the standings

This 78-60 road win is a meaningful result in Tunisia Nationale 1, where away victories can shape the early-season table. CA Bizertin will take confidence from the margin and the manner of the performance, while AS Megrine will look to correct their second-half execution and perimeter shooting in the next fixture.
