US Bechar Djedid Dominate JSM Tiaret in 3-1 Victory

US Bechar Djedid produced an impressive attacking display to beat JSM Tiaret 3-1 on 8 May 2026 in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 2. The home side's relentless pressure proved too much for a disjointed Tiaret defence.

Fast Start from Bechar

Bechar Djedid took the lead after just 12 minutes. Forward Oussama Bouzid latched onto a long ball, shrugged off his marker, and fired low into the net. The early goal set the tone, and the home side continued to push forward.

JSM Tiaret equalised against the run of play in the 29th minute. A rare counter-attack ended with Karim Bensalah tapping in from a cross by Abdellah Mahrez. However, parity lasted only six minutes. Bechar regained the lead through a powerful header from centre-back Islam Hadjadj following a corner.

Second Half Controlled

The visitors pushed for another equaliser after the break but left gaps at the back. Bechar Djedid capitalised in the 72nd minute when substitute Mohamed Amine Guendouz finished off a quick break to make it 3-1. Tiaret's struggles in front of goal continued, with their top scorer Farouk Bouziane unusually quiet throughout.

Player Highlights

• Oussama Bouzid (US Bechar Djedid): A constant menace, scoring the opener and assisting the third goal.
• Islam Hadjadj (US Bechar Djedid): Dominant in the air, both defensively and offensively with his goal from a set piece.
• JSM Tiaret: Midfielder Yazid Meftah worked hard but lacked support.

Table Context

The win lifts US Bechar Djedid to 34 points, placing them comfortably in mid-table with a slim chance of sneaking into the promotion conversation. JSM Tiaret remain on 26 points, hovering just above the relegation places without any real momentum.

Bechar's home form has been a bright spot, and this victory extends their unbeaten run at home to four matches. Tiaret, meanwhile, have now lost three of their last five and need a turnaround quickly to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.
