Overview
- USM Alger secured the trophy with goals from Zakaria Draoui, Saâdi Radouani and Ahmed Khaldi in a 3-1 win.
- Mamelodi Sundowns replied through Iqraam Rayners from the penalty spot after a VAR review awarded the spot-kick.
- Sundowns made an early change when Nuno Santos was ruled out in the warm-up and then lost Brayan León to a stretchered injury, forcing further substitutions.
- Heavy rain in Pretoria delayed the second-half restart and water on the pitch affected play before Khaldi’s counter-attack finish put the result beyond doubt.
- The win gives USM Alger their second CAF Super Cup in three years and compounds Sundowns’ recent continental struggles following their earlier Champions League exit.
